Zion Williamson’s days of being loved in New Orleans appears to be over.
The New Orleans Pelicans star has not played a game for the Pelicans yet this season as he’s continuing to recover from a foot injury. According to the latest report from NBA insider Shams Charania, Pelicans fans might not see Zion on the court at all this season.
“I haven’t gotten any sense that Zion Williamson is gonna play this season, and that definitely is alarming,” Charania added. As Zion continues to miss time, fans are becoming frustrated with the former No. 1 overall pick.
Fans have turned on the big man, as you can see, a Mardi Gras float took a shot at him.

Earlier this week, former Pelicans guard JJ Redick called out Zion for not being a team player.
“This just shows a complete lack of investment in your team, the organization, the city,” Redick said. “I get that he’s hurt and away from the team, but you just traded for one of the 50 best players in the league, a guy that’s supposed to be paired with you. Reach out and say, ‘Hello.’ This is a pattern of behavior with Zion that we’re seeing again and again.”
If Zion sees this, he won’t even try to make it back on the court this season.
