“This is the thinnest version of Zion Williamson we have seen since his rookie season”: NBA Twitter reacts as photos of the youngster training at the Pels practice facility go viral

After several months, Zion Williamson has been seen working out at the New Orleans Pelicans practice facility.

It’s been almost 10 months since we last saw Zion Williamson play NBA basketball. After several delayed returns, the Pelicans finally gave out a crucial injury update for the former Duke Blue Devil. Recently, in a statement, the team wrote:

Recent imaging showed improved bone healing of the fifth metatarsal in Zion Williamson’s right foot.

He will gradually progress to full weight-bearing exercise and basketball activities.

He remains out indefinitely.
