Zion Williamson ready to lead New Orleans Pelicans for playoff push

The Zion Williamson haters certainly aren't pleased after the New Orleans Pelicans tweeted out a photo of the rookie back in team's weight room following the reopening of the facility.

Williamson has only played in 19 games thus far in his rookie campaign but after nearly three months of training on and off the floor, the Pelicans star is ready to games to resume at the end of July.

Following knee surgery at the beginning of the year, the former Duke Blue Devil had to take things very slow and easy as New Orleans didn't want to rush their future star back but after Zion got a few games under his belt, it was full steam ahead for the rookie.
