Charles Barkley admits to having not met former No. 1 pick Zion Williamson before, but the NBA legend gave a few words of advice for the Pelicans star who’s been overcome by various injuries in his young professional career.
During the 2022–23 season, Williamson didn’t play after Jan. 2 due to a hamstring injury. The forward has missed at least part of all four of his NBA seasons due to injuries.
Barkley compared Williamson’s young career to his own in certain ways, advising the Pelicans forward to “get in shape” in order to stay healthier throughout the rest of his career.
