We do not know what the future holds for Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans.
The star missed most of last season due to yet another injury.
After several years of false starts, some fans are wondering if the Pelicans will just cut their losses and move on from him.
Meanwhile, Williamson is stating that he is working hard to stay healthy and improve his physical power.
Speaking on Gilbert Arenas’ show, via Bleacher Report on Twitter, Williamson said that staying on a good diet is “hard” but that he’s “at a certain point now where, because of certain things…[I’m] putting people around me with wisdom.”
He also said that he is modeling his conditioning around LeBron James: “Bron got the blueprint. Trying my best to follow it.”

A healthy Williamson would be a true problem for the rest of the league.
The two-time All-Star averaged 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.6 assists before he got hurt back in January.
With his size and power, he can lead his team like few others could.
The problem is that he is repeatedly hurt.
Part of this has to do with the physicality of the game, but another part of it is because of the way that he treats his body via conditioning and dieting.
If Williamson can overcome the problems that have plagued him, get healthy, and finish a whole season in good shape, fans will forget the past and have full faith in him again.
But based on recent history, they don’t have many reasons to believe that will happen.
As of now, Williamson is set to return to the Pelicans in the fall.
Will this be the redemption season people have been waiting for?
