On February 16, Beijing time, according to The Pelicans' reporter Christian Clark, Zion's right foot may need to undergo surgery again, but the plan has not yet been determined. So far this season, Zion has not played in any regular season game for his team due to injury. Zion entered the league for three seasons, played only 85 games, averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, although his performance was not bad, but his attendance and injury problems were really terrible.
Zion and senior Auden both entered the league with the halo of the champions, and they were pinned high hopes by the fans, but these two have common problems, they are both glass people, too easy to get injured. Zion's weight problems have always plagued him, the huge upper limb weight has caused himself a physical load, and then there is Zion's lack of skill in playing. For more time, Zion didn't love to shoot, he was keen on dunks, which also increased his risk of injury.
Christian Clark also revealed that the Pelicans tried to get a Zion + Morant combination before the draft in 2019, but their deal with the Grizzlies ultimately failed. In that year's draft, the Pelicans held the pick and the number four, and they offered the Grizzlies various offers, including the No. 4 pick, in exchange for the No. 2 pick, but they were all rejected by the Grizzlies. In the end, the Grizzlies took off Morant with the eye of the list, as for Morante's performance, the fans are also there for all to see, I have to say that the Grizzlies management's insistence is really worth it.
Now Zion is trussing due to injury, and the task of leading the team has all fallen on Ingram. Previously, the team reached a deal with the Blazers, and CJ McCollum was traded to the Pelicans, which also alleviated ingram's offensive pressure to some extent, but if the team wants to go further, Zion must return as soon as possible.
