There's no denying that Zion Williamson is currently one of the most promising young stars in the league today. He is a generational talent, and one who has the makings of being the face of the league in the near future. The big question, however, is if he can remain healthy.
Zion had an impressive rookie campaign -- when he was on the floor at least. Injuries plagued his rookie season, and he wasn't able to make his debut until January. The youngster suffered a knee injury during the preseason, which kept him out for the first few months of the season. Intriguingly, this is the same knee that he tweaked during his infamous blown shoe injury at Duke.
It is also worth noting that Zion was on a strict minutes limit for pretty much his entire rookie campaign. The mid-season hiatus brought about by the pandemic didn't do his fitness any favors.
All things considered, however, it would be completely unfair to label Zion as "injury-prone" at this point. It's still way too early in his career to say if injuries will play a significant role in his future. For the sake of the Pelicans and the sport overall, let's hope that this is not the case.
