Game one of the 2019-2020 season was supposed to feature the defending champion Toronto Raptors taking on a potential megastar in his debut, but last night’s game lacked the arrival of Zion Williamson.
On Monday afternoon, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the rookie would miss the first 6-to-8 weeks of the season as he recovered from a tear in his right meniscus.
Pelicans rookie star Zion Williamson underwent arthroscopic surgery for torn meniscus in right knee and will be out 6-to-8 weeks.

While it did hurt some of the excitement surrounding the team heading into opening night, there’s still so much to look forward to when Zion takes the floor later this year.
