New: How do you explain the disconnect between Zion and the Pelicans?
A lack of trust.
Specifically, a lack of trust between Zion and his camp, and David Griffin. nola.com/sports/pelican…8:54 AM

Goran Dragic said he picked the #Nets from among a group of six contenders to play with the new Big 3 and for his mentor Steve Nash. Adds KD, Ben Simmons and others texted him in the recruitment process. Sounds different than Zion in NOLA. #nba2:54 PM

More on this storyline

According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst, there is a distance between Zion and the Pelicans and the team is unsure about the future of their biggest talent. He still thinks that New Orleans wants to keep the player though. “They’re distant, both literally and figuratively,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s SportsCenter. “He left the team in early January to go deal with this injury on his own and he’s just not been around for months. “The Pelicans gave regular updates on Zion. They have stopped doing that. They have said nothing officially on him in weeks and Zion’s camp has been very careful to shut down information coming out. There’s a lot of little bits of information, there’s a lot of speculation so we really just have to pay attention to actions. -via TalkBasket / February 23, 2022

Oleh Kosel: Zion Williamson posted minutes ago an Instagram story containing a video clip of Devonte’ Graham’s game-winning shot from the Nov. 26 victory over the Utah Jazz. -via Twitter @OlehKosel / February 23, 2022

Perhaps he does want a way out. His first two years in New Orleans were a mess, with two coaches fired in that span, including a dystopian 2020-21 season played in an environment that former teammate Josh Hart publicly lambasted, claiming he “hated playing basketball” for last year’s Pelicans. “Last year was not a good vibe,” Hart said on Redick’s podcast. “Not even in terms of play, but just energy around the team we had.” -via New Orleans Times-Picayune / February 23, 2022
