Another Surgery For Zion Williamson?


The updates on Zion Williamson's foot injury just never seem to be going in the right direction. The latest word is that he could be facing a second surgery on his foot. 

He broke a bone in his foot last July, then dropped the news at Media Day in October. It was thought at that point that he'd be back soon after the start of the season. 

By December, it was clear he was having problems recovering, when his expected return to practice was postponed. Instead he had a biologic injection in his foot to promote healing. Now, according to NOLA.com, "it is possible he will need a second surgery on his right foot, sources said, but nothing has been decided."

According to the report, Pels general manager Trajon Landon met with Zion recently, and the former No. 1 pick was enthused about the trade deadline acquisition of CJ McCollum. But it's looking more and more like he won't be suiting up alongside him on the court until next season.
