Zion Williamson has been publicly silent since the New Orleans Pelicans revealed at their media day on Sept. 27 that he would miss the start of the season with a foot injury.
On Wednesday, the Pelicans shared Williamson's first public comments since his injury was made public while announcing that he continues to rehab "away from the team" and "under the supervision of the Pelicans medical staff."
“As you can imagine, this has been a very difficult process for me,” Williamson said, per the Pelicans. “I know there’s work to be done in my recovery before I can safely return to the court, but I will continue to put in the time necessary so I can get back on the floor with my team and represent Pelicans fans and the city of New Orleans at the highest level.
