Around the NBA: Zion out 6-8 weeks with torn meniscus, extensions on extensions, NBA tips tomorrow

According to a Real GM wire report, Zion will be out for 6-8 weeks with a torn meniscus:

Zion Williamson has undergone surgery for a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee and will miss six to eight weeks. The routine debridement was performed by Dr. Jason Folk with assistance from Team Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Misty Suri.

The New Orleans Pelicans were encouraged that the injury was not worse for Williamson.

Here’s to hoping for a swift and full recovery for the no. 1 overall pick, I’m really excited to see what the kid can do and want to see him back on the court soon.
