With Zion Williamson experiencing what the team is calling a minor setback, we obviously need to revise expectations. When do you think he’ll return to the court, and more importantly, how much hope do you have left that the Pelicans will be playing basketball after the conclusion of this regular season?
Kevin:
My expectation is exasperation. These never ending pushbacks on return dates are tiring. I feel like the Pelicans have needed to put together a playoff run by Zion’s fourth season to get to at least seven years of Zion in a Pelicans’ uniform — with his lack of availability I’m not sure we can get there.
