It looks like New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is getting back to his conditioning after spending the whole regular season recovering from a foot injury.
Ahead of the Pelicans' Game 4 showdown against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, Williamson was spotted doing some on-court practice. After he was spotted doing a 360-dunk a couple of weeks ago, he's now doing more work with his usual lift getting back to the level where it was before.
While he is not yet there just yet, this latest sighting is an encouraging sign as he gears up to get back by the 2021-22 season.

There are a lot of questions whether there's a chance for Zion Williamson to play in the 2022 postseason, and for good reason. Obviously, he looks healthy enough to suit up for the team. There have also been talks that he's close to his playing weight from before, which should ease any concern of him sustaining another injury.
However, as reported in mid-April, the Pelicans and Williamson are at odds over the severity of his injury. New Orleans wants to play it safe, believing that the foot of the athletic forward hasn't full healed.
It remains to be seen what the Pelicans end up doing, but seeing Williamson get back to his rim-rattling ways should only raise more hopes up of a better future for the franchise.
