TNT Analyst Charles Barkley talks about Pelicans’ star Zion Williamson and his appearance, makes a comment involving Shaquille O’Neal

The New Orleans Pelicans are not having the start to the season they would have thought of. They’re off to a 1-7 start, losing their 7th game of the season tonight. However, their bad start to the season wasn’t a big surprise for a lot. Their young stars, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, both are out due to injury.

Zion, who suffered a foot injury during the offseason, is still recovering, and no timeline has been issued. Brandon Ingram, who suffered a right hip contusion, is eyeing a return soon. With BI returning to the lineup, the Pelicans would get a huge boost. They would hope to get back to winning games then. During the half-time break of the Pelicans-Suns game, Zion was out on the court, which generated a very interesting comment from Charles Barkley.
