The moment of truth has arrived. Patience may run out with Zion Williamson if he does not achieve the desired continuity in his physical condition this season to prevent injuries and showcase his greatness. The New Orleans Pelicans player has lost a lot of fat and muscle mass, leading to the question of what kind of player we will see now.

Since he landed in the NBA, there were voices warning of the incompatibility of the physical demands of this competition with Zion Williamson's body. A true beast that could overpower his opponents with strength, but also harm himself. That's what has happened during his first years in the league, having suffered numerous injuries due to the difficulty of sustaining and moving that mass of fat and muscle that has characterized the player from New Orleans Pelicans.

Fully aware that changes need to be made, Zion Williamson has worked very hard throughout the summer to shed pounds, gain speed in his movements, and agility. It is believed that this physical transformation will reduce the strain on his joints and muscles, allowing him to have the necessary continuity to gain confidence and establish himself as the big star of the New Orleans Pelicans. It's now or never.
