I think everyone body is different. He may have a tendency to gain weight a lot quicker than most people whether thats muscle or fat. If thats the case than you need to limit your calories when injured. But in the long run you need to lose 30 -40 pounds so your not injured in the first place.

There's plenty of ways to stay in shape while nursing a hamstring. Plenty of players get hamstrings, but only zion comes back fat. If he cared enough he would do what it takes to stay in shape but he doesnt care enough to do that.

The only time he's been rehabbing and seemed to do well fitness wise was when he was in Portland. Any time he's got an injury that will mean missing more than a few days, they need to make him live "on campus" somewhere where his diet and exercise are a lot more controlled.

This and only this.

Anyone who disagrees with this very simple premise is cool with enabling this dude. You’ve been paid 100s of millions of dollars to stay in shape and play basketball well. If you can’t play basketball well then you DAMN sure better be doubling down on nutrition and doing upper body bike, stationary bike long enough to get a good calorie burn in addition to your other treatment.

This isn’t fricking rocket science yet this dude is coddled like a 300 lb baby every time he gets injured.
