Perhaps the most unusual debut season for a No. 1 overall draft pick in NBA history featured a preseason knee injury that limited Zion Williamson to a total of 24 games, as well as a pandemic that split the 2019-20 campaign into two pieces. Although COVID-19 is still not at the point where the league will be able to conduct a “normal” 2020-21 regular season, Williamson said Wednesday that he’s looking forward to what will hopefully be a less eventful sophomore campaign for him.
“I feel great mentally and physically,” the 20-year-old forward said, addressing media members for the first time since August.
