Don’t say that I didn’t tell you..(more information on the injury)

Pretty sure I am the only person on this board that even mentioned the word surgery.. and called his timeline for injury. Be respectful and I will post whatever I can when I can.

Section REMOVED for the HIPPAcrites..

As I stated, the injury has been a lingering issue. Not sure if the Spurs game closed the deal or not.. but it was coming at some point. Pelicans may not release this however.

Also, surgery was not the first option but without it, he would have had lingering issues on and off throughout the season. I expect him to be on a serious limitation in terms of minutes for 1-2 months after he returns. I think he returns close to full around Jan.

In terms of what the future holds. Meniscus injuries vary from person to person. In Zion’s case, he will recover about 90%. However, he is so athletic and quick, no one will notice any decline. What is a fact is that as he gets older, he will develop osteoarthritis in the affected knee to a moderate degree. But alllll NBA players have “arthritis” right? Well... they aren’t all almost 300lbs... Zion will be trimming down this off season. I expect it to be a priority before any other fundamentals. He was already made aware of this.

If you want the summary of this book-Zion will be ok. Be thankful is wasn’t his MCL or ACL.

Talk soon.
