Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans scored an impressive average of 26 points and 7 rebounds per game last season.

He also had an eye-popping 60.8% field goal percentage too.

Sadly, he only participated in 29 games before an injury took him to the sidelines yet again.

But new photos, via NBACentral, show Williamson looking very healthy and strong in the practice gym.

Does this mean his revenge season is incoming?

Fans of Williamson were elated to see him looking so good.

Some predicted that Williamson’s next season could grant him his first MVP trophy.

Many were hopeful, although they were also cautious and concerned because Williamson has been hurt so often.

Yes, he is unstoppable when he is in good shape and not hurt – but that’s just not often enough.

i’m hoping he can stay as healthy as possible this season… cause he’s unstoppable when he’s on the floor

Other people used the photos as an opportunity to call Williamson a huge bust.

One user even called him the “biggest bust in the modern day NBA era.”

Another joked that Williamson and Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets are the “kings of workout summer videos.”

Williamson definitely looks great in these photos and that is a welcome sight for Pelicans fans.

Yet, they have seen Williamson looking like this before.

Then they got their hopes up and then those hopes were dashed.

So while followers of the team are happy to see Williamson in this condition, they aren’t holding their breath.

They all know that if Williamson remains healthy and in good shape for all of 2023-24, he could lead his team to the playoffs.

But they also know that the past indicates that might not happen.
