The biggest question mark surrounding Zion Williamson has always been his health. Well, the New Orleans Pelicans superstar looks perfectly fine at the moment. He proved just that on Monday night after attempting to destroy Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner on a dunk attempt that should send shock waves across the NBA.
If there isn't one already, there should be a Top 10 list of missed dunks. This one from Zion should be way up there (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

Zion absolutely exploded to the rim on this play. The Pelicans star was isolated with Turner, and Williamson knew that he was going up against one of the best shot-blockers in the entire NBA. Zion had no doubt that he had to go strong to the hole, and so that's exactly what he did.
It's a shame that Williamson missed that dunk. The commentator on the broadcast noted that Zion told the Pelicans bench that he almost got Turner on that attempt, which is a clear indication of how badly he wanted to put the Pacers big man on a poster.
Just recently, Zion came out with an admission of how badly he was affected by the criticism the media had about his weight. This was during the time that he was rehabbing a foot injury that caused him the entire 2021-22 season. Zion Williamson is in great shape right now, though, and he's out to prove that he's fully healthy. Let's just hope it stays this way for the foreseeable future.
