Zion Williamson and stepfather spent every day of NBA hiatus on a basketball court

New Orleans rookie forward Zion Williamson is still a teenager, but he’s already savvy enough to realize that he’s not required to share every aspect of his training regimen with media members. Asked Thursday for specifics on where and how he was able to get on a basketball court every day of the NBA’s three-month hiatus, the 19-year-old smiled and replied, “I can’t tell you all of my secrets, man. I think I’ve got to keep that to myself.”

Williamson had just finished explaining to reporters that despite the ongoing pandemic, he and stepfather Lee Anderson held daily basketball sessions, gaining access to gyms at undisclosed locations.
