If Zion doesnt develop a mid range jumper or 3 point arsenal. He will most likely have a short lived career due to knee injury. How long can those knees last on all those forced driving in the lane, quick low post twisting and jumping / dunking? It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

Thanks, Doc! Appreciate the insight.
It was good to see him drop some weight during the year, but he is still so heavy for the way he plays. Add in how he looks just walking and you'd think he'd be working with someone on natural body mechanics. He is soooooo stiff. Hopefully it isn't too serious and he can see the benefits of losing weight this second half of the season.
I'm glad the Lakers won the game but I feel bad for Zion and pray that he recovers from his injury.

Thankfully zion actually suffered a left leg hamstring. This is a common injury that can happen to every athlete regardless of your size and sports.
I think it was that jab-step at the beginning of that play. I’ve gotten the same injury from the same move before. After that jab step you can kinda see him favoring that leg and then when the play finishes is when he really feels it. He just let his momentum and finesse at the rim finish the play.

Pray Zion comes back good good
I think the impact of landing and his weight is too much strain on his knees. I have knee problems, but I notice that when I drop weight it's not as noticeable
Yea it was on the mini hop I did the exact same thing and it feel like someone sitting on yo shoulders when u tryna jump
git dem joker-murray vids ready. nba gon make dat call
I think he might have actually injured the leg (or precipitated the injury) with the block on Lebron a few minutes before he came out (~5:50 mark in the 4th). Extremely awkward landing with unnatural stress on the left hamstring.
I want to be as good at everything I do in life as you are in getting these quality videos out.
It was that stutter step pause and than the leap off that same leg and part of the leg and landing
I think of Zion as Shaq’s upper body and Derrick Rose’s lower strength combined🤔. I think he needs to develop more leg muscle to support his upper body strength. I hope his knees can still keep up. He’s still young. Prayers up🙏🏻
Thank u breaking this down cause I don’t see a big impact for it to be a HAMSTRING INJURY 😵💫

1-4 weeks for hamstring recovery
they later released it as a hamstring injury
Shocking that his hamstring was never mentioned. He has had hamstring issues in the past that have kept him out for an extended period of time. Also, the Pelicans have been tremendously conservative with his return to play, so the assertion that it had to be something serious for him to not return to the game is not accurate when it comes to zion
this is why you take care of the regular season and finish the end stretch strong to avoid playing extra games

The western conference is a BEAST right now. I mean the league itself is getting incredibly competitive - that’s easier said than done. When the 10th best team in the west is Golden State, the team that won the title two years ago…. Sheesh! Denver, OKC, Lakers, Clippers, Dallas, Phoenix, Pels, Warriors - all those teams got multiple heavy hitters and stars on each team - all those games can go any way. It’s been great basketball this year all around. Now SO many stars are plagued with injuries right now too. Jimmy Butler, Giannis, Zion, Embiid, just to name a few. Honestly, I don’t think there should be a western and eastern conference. I think it should be 1-16 in the NBA. Then they can do a play-in for teams at 14-18 in league standings.

I’m not an elite athlete but as I get older my knees just can’t handle the extra weight. I can’t imagine how Zion’s knees scream out every time he does the things he does. Man’s gotta drop 30 lbs minimum
Very mysterious. Based on his reaction and the immediate move to the locker room, I am predicting an Achilles tendon tear. I don't see the mechanism of injury but if he heard the pop, he knew what it was. Wouldn't necessarily cause significant gait abnormalities. Curious to hear the dx

I think he may have been harboring an injury for a portion of the game and didnt tell anyone. He walked off completely fine and didnt seem to jar it towards the end. Which im assuming is because it was already hurt and he was trying to push through it.
