NBA rookie star Zion Williamson is expected to finally make his regular season debut in the coming weeks.
David Griffin, the New Orleans Pelicans‘ Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, spoke to ESPN New Orleans 100.3 to reveal that the No. 1 overall draft pick will most likely suit up before the end of the year. ”He’s progressing exactly as we had hoped he would,” Griffin confirmed. “We’re really optimistic, and most importantly, Zion is really excited and that’s where we want him to be.”
Griffin continued, “The physical part is easy for him. He has an incredibly high basketball IQ. He loves being a teammate and getting better. He’s really rare among truly elite young players in that he enjoys the process of getting better. He loves the process of learning the game.”
Back in October, Williamson underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn right lateral meniscus. The team announced that the 19-year-old will sit out six to eight weeks, missing somewhere between 20 to 27 regular season games. “Right now, I think we’re on target for eight weeks,” he said. “Probably not to the day, but in and around that.”
According to reports, Stephen Curry and Will Arnett are set to executive produce a basketball-themed comedy series. Titled The Second Half, the multicamera show is a co-production between Fox Entertainment and Sony Pictures TV. This is just the latest in Curry’s moves outside of the basketball world after founding his Unanimous Media multimedia production company back in 2018.
Although a script hasn’t been written yet, the series will revolve around a retired NBA player that returns to his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. With his return comes a new car wash business and attempts to reconnect with his family, ex-girlfriend and childhood best friend.
Stay tuned for more details.
