A short trip to the infirmary for Zion Williamson
While he injured his right ankle against the Jazz, in the Pelicans’ win saturday night, Zion Williamson he couldn’t keep his spot the next day against the Clippers. Little event this season for him.
Indeed, the New Orleans interior just won a career-high 35 games in a row! His last failed meeting since December 11, 2025. Remarkable for a badly injured person like him…
“I’ve noticed a much higher level of focus from him this year than before. It shows in his work, his attitude and the way he prepares his body and mind.”, his coach points outJames Borrego. “He has stepped up his professionalism and I am extremely proud that he has reached another level. Now it is a question of him keeping it. There is still another level to reach.”
How long will Zion Williamson spend in the infirmary? Very little since he was pulled just an hour before the game against the Clippers. The former All-Star should be back on the court soon.
Good news for his bank account because, remember, his salary is progressive : the more he plays, the more dollars he will get. He is currently at 45 games this season, which has already guaranteed him $16.9 million, up from the $42.2 he could receive in 2025/26. Next steps: Play 51 matches to add $8.4 million, then play 61 to unlock the same amount. The rest of his salary will ultimately depend on his weight.
