NBA Preview: Zion Williamson’s long awaited NBA debut is here as New Orleans Pelicans welcome San Antonio Spurs

Ninety three days ago the New Orleans Pelicans tossed a bucket of cold water on the entire NBA world with a simple but devastating press release: Zion Williamson tore the meniscus in his right knee and would miss six to eight weeks.

Since that dark October day, Pelican fans, indeed all basketball fans, have been waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

Finally, after 93 days, Zion Williamson is making his NBA debut. After Zion was picked in the 2019 Draft, he had a simple message for New Orleans: “Let’s dance.” Well, Zion, it’s time for us all to dance.
