From the moment he entered the NBA in 2019, Zion Williamson has emphasized the importance of family to him. Despite limitations on the way the 2021 All-Star Game will be held Sunday in Atlanta – the event is not open to the public, so there won’t be a sold-out crowd – that’s one reason the 20-year-old was all smiles this morning. In a Zoom meeting with media members, Williamson noted that each NBA All-Star was allowed to have a small number of guests at the game, which for him will include his immediate family.
“I’m very grateful for that,” he said.
