Zion Williamson Update - Uncertain For Opening Night But Not For His Fourth-Year Extension

In a bit of Brotherhood news, Zion Williamson, who suffered an off-season foot injury while training, is uncertain for the New Orleans Pelican’s opener on October 20th vs. the Philadelphia 76ers who, for their part, may or may not have Ben Simmons.

It’s probably a good thing that they haven't ruled him out yet but it seems unlikely.

In other Zion news, New Orleans has exercised its fourth-year option on Williamson. There wasn't much question that they would but there have been persistent rumors that he wanted out of New Orleans.

He disputed that recently, saying he did want to stay.
