Although he missed some significant time toward the end of last year while dealing with a hamstring injury, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is currently well under the weight at which the team drafted him in 2019, clocking in at 264 pounds, according to ESPN's Michael Wright.
Both NBA.com and ESPN list Williamson as 284 pounds, which would mean he has lost 20 pounds since the start of the season. For good reason, too—among other weight-related stipulations in the five-year, $197.2 million extension Williamson signed in 2022, the 24-year-old is required to keep his combined weight and body fat percentage below 295 or he could see a 20% salary reduction next season.
