ESPN analyst Jalen Rose believes the star of the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion Williamson, should not play at all this season.
“You see how he running? He look like a 60-year-old man. He is running like me right now and I’ll be 47 in a couple of weeks. You know how old he is? He’s 19-years-old, man.
Do not, Pelicans, put Zion Williamson out on the floor in January. If he tells you he’s ready to go, you say, ‘Aight big fella, I appreciate that. Practice for two more weeks and we’ll figure it out.’” Rose said.
Williamson underwent surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus in October and has been sidelined since then.
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Pelicans expect Williamson to make his season debut in January.
New Orleans is at 11-23 in the standings.
