The drama between Moriah Mills and Zion Williamson continues, as Mills hasn’t stopped on her rant. Moriah’s Twitter account was recently suspended where she had been tweeting all sorts of things on Williamson. As the drama continued to reveal more secrets and proofs, rumors about Zion retiring from the league started to build up.
So far into his career, Williamson has only managed to play one full season for the Pelicans, suiting up for 61 games. Apart from that, Zion has been out due to injury and wasn’t available for most of the games. Still, the 22-year-old has managed to average 25.8 points, 7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. These rumors are not backed by any major news or statements from Zion.
Williamson has great potential to be among the best players in the league. Due to the recent controversy, Zion’s image has been affected a lot. Williamson injured his hamstring during the regular season, and his return was stated as uncertain. A post on LinkedIn reviewed Zion’s situation, terming the youngster to soon be retired from the game. Whereas Williamson has actually recovered pretty well.
Has Zion Williamson fully recovered from injury?
Recently, Zion was seen throwing down an insane dunk at an elementary school in Louisiana. Williamson’s 360 dunk might send a message to the league that he is finally back. After suffering from a hamstring injury, his recent activity seems pretty convincing for a return. Williamson won’t retire anytime soon, as his talents are worth a championship. Though his destination for the following season is in question.

Trade rumors around Williamson have been active, as the Pelicans might part ways with Zion. Teams like the Blazers are rumored to be Zion’s second team. The offseason has just kicked off, and the Pelicans will have plenty of options looking for a trade partner. While Zion is a dominant player and an aggressive scorer, his availability might keep some of the teams from considering a trade for him.
He is an excellent rebounder and defender, as well as a dominant scorer in the paint. No team can deny his talents despite facing recent controversies. Williamson should look to have his first successful season in the league as he hopes to move on from the current situation.
It will be interesting to see where this drama escalates and if Williamson finally addresses the situation. Until then, trade talks around Zion will continue to pour in. Since it is in New Orleans’ best interest to part ways with Williamson after four rough seasons with the former #1 pick.
