Does this stem from the shoe accident?

This stem from the lows of gravity and how heavy constructions are reacting to stress...

Interesting that it is the same knee. Was that the same knee that caused him to sit out all but one half of the summer league?

A little early to sound the death knell.

I know the ghost of Greg Oden is out there, and the risk is there, but we'll see.

Agree with Marv that I wish the best for him and I wanted to see him play as well.

Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

Want to say team mentioned that it was from preseason game vs Spurs.

6-8 weeks means they cut out whatever part of meniscus was damaged versus sewing it back on (typically 2-3 months recovery).

Rj is the real deal. Zion will be injured and off the court more than on the court.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

From what Ive read, and the clips, Zion got most of his points in the paint before he got hurt. Was expending a lot of energy using his vertical, probably more than he will down the road. There was no perimeter game to speak of. Combine that with his NBA topping weight, and its not that big of a surprise that Williamson paid a price for all the time he put in the paint, outworking the other team.

Dont believe it means that Zion is at risk of being a bust. Dropping 20 or so pounds, and spending more time on jumpers, 3pters, should cut down on the wear and tear, I imagine. Talking to Vince Carter about the right balance, couldnt hurt either.

So Kyrie breaks his face, KD tears his achilles and Zion rips his meniscus. That was going to be our 3 offseason additions. The Knicks curse is starting to affect even players that don't end up with us!

It's not good that he is having wear and tear injuries this soon in his career.

Same. He strikes me as a great young guy and someone who should be the face of a franchise. Hopefully he gets healthy

Hope he gets better. Unfortunate regardless but specially so if it stemmed from sneaker incident. Good news is that he is young and can heal quickly. Think they will go slow with him.

not sure why this keeps getting brought up, no one from Pelicans references back to this incident.

Yeah i would want nothing more than Zion, RJ, and Ja to become the faces of the NBA as far as the next league superstars. I want Barrett to become the best player from the draft class, but not see Zion struggle to stay healthy. Hoping both are great.
