After pulling off an unlikely playoff run earlier this year, the Pelicans enter next season hoping to capitalize on their success with a now-healthy Zion Williamson in tow.
The young star’s anticipated return from injury is likely one of the few NBA headlines intriguing enough to cipher attention away from the NBA Finals, even if for a brief moment. Just ask CJ McCollum, whose appearance as an analyst during Game 1 Thursday night included a brief tangent on Williamson, thanks to NBA legend Magic Johnson.
Appearing on ESPN2’s NBA Finals: Celebrating 75 broadcast, McCollum was asked by Magic about his offseason plan with Zion, and the veteran guard’s answer should give some relief to fans still worried about the big mans health.
