CJ McCollum and Zion have not spoken yet, which is no bueno.

McCollum was in Cleveland this weekend to participate in the 3-Point Contest, and prior to the event he made an appearance on TNT’s All-Star Saturday Night show.

While talking to Ernie Johnson and Co., he revealed that he still hasn’t spoken with the injured Williamson since the trade.

“I haven’t had conversations with him directly,” McCollum said. “I’ve spoken with some people close to him and look forward to sitting down with him sooner than later. I know about as much as you do right now, but I’m gonna get to the bottom of it.”

With all of the technology available it’s kind of weird that Williamson hasn’t given McCollum a call or a text.

Williamson has not yet played for New Orleans this season as he recovers from foot surgery.

How long before he’s out of New Orleans?
