It's going to be awhile before we see Zion Williamson in a basketball game. Or doing any basketball things at all.
The promising New Orleans Pelicans player has experienced a setback while rehabbing his surgically repaired right foot, the team announced in a statement on Saturday. His training is being reduced so the bone can heal further.
"After experiencing persistent soreness in his right foot, Zion Williamson underwent medical imaging which showed a regression in the bone healing of his fifth metatarsal. As a result, the volume and intensity of his training will be reduced for an extended period to help allow for further bone healing.
