Zion Williamson may need second surgery on his right foot

Williamson was supposed to return to practice in December, but he began experiencing soreness in his right foot. That month, he flew to Los Angeles to have an injection to promote healing. It is possible he will need a second surgery on his right foot, sources said, but nothing has been decided.

Before Zion even played, the Pelicans moved 12,000 season tickets. Then they got hit w/ injuries to their star player and COVID.

More on this storyline

The Pelicans were intrigued by the possibility of pairing AAU teammates Williamson and Morant together in 2019, sources said. They had the Nos. 1 and 4 picks entering that draft. They offered the Grizzlies multiple packages that included the No. 4 pick. All of their offers were rebuffed. -via New Orleans Times-Picayune / February 16, 2022
