“But there’s been absolutely no setback and no other mission afoot than to get him on the court as soon as possible.”
Hall of Famer Reggie Miller though believes Pelicans ownership are not telling the whole truth on Williamson.
The five-time All Star doesn’t think Williamson will follow in similar footsteps to Ben Simmons by sitting out the entire first year of his career in the NBA.
“I’ve been saying this.. I said this November 21 during the Pelicans vs Suns game, only to be told by David Griffin the President of the Pels at Halftime “No No No, Zion will DEFINITELY be back mid December,” he tweeted.
“Fast forward to December 3rd Mavs vs Pels I double downed and said again.”
