LOS ANGELES — JJ Redick, a veteran guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, saw the photo.
With NBA teams starting to slowly fill their practice facilities, Pelicans rookie sensation Zion Williamson was back at work, mask on, sleeves off, his muscles exploding out of his hoodie. Williamson was always big. But in this photo, he looked like a bulldozer sculpted down into a Humvee.
“The key for him is his body and just being in shape. As you saw yesterday, it was all over my timeline,” Redick said with a laugh. “He looks fantastic.”
Before the season shut down March 11 because of the coronavirus, Williamson was dominating.
