Despite being in his first NBA season, Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson is already making a huge difference in New Orleans.
With the NBA season now suspended indefinitely amid the coronavirus pandemic, Williamson is pledging to pay the salaries of the Smoothie King Center employees for the next 30 days.
"This is a small way for me to express my support and appreciation for these wonderful people who have been so great to me and my teammates and hopefully we can all join together to relieve some of the stress and hardship caused by this national health crisis," Williamson said in an Instagram post announcing the pledge.
