The NBA regular season continued today with the New Orleans Pelicans playing a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and in the end it was the Pelicans who comfortably defeated the Cavaliers.
Edit. In this game, Pelicans popular superstar Zion Williamson did not play, and the Pelicans revealed that Zion was sick. But this reason is not convincing, because Zion also played in the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, why did he suddenly fall ill?It could be that the Pelicans deliberately didn't let Zion play.
In the early hours of this morning, US media reported that Zion's contract is expected to become unsecure. In the summer of 2022, Zion signed a five-year contract extension with the PelicansThe $9.7 billion contract has caused controversy. The main problem is that Zion's physical condition is average and he is often injured, so attendance is low. The Pelicans are likely to regret giving such a big contract in the future.
But the Pelicans aren't stupid, they've added a lot of attendance requirements, as well as weight restrictions. Last season, Zion played in just 29 games, triggering the "miss more than 22 games" limit, so his contract became non-secure for the final three years, meaning he could be cut by the Pelicans at any time.
Edit. Of course, the Pelicans won't actually cut Zion, and they may treat the contract as something that can be traded for teams that want to free up salary space to do business. In this way, Zion can be said to have ruined his future.
Edit. What's worse is that Zion's life off the court is also very chaotic, and he has close contacts with some ** actresses. This summer, an actress named Mills has been entangled with Zion for a long time, and recently began to spray Zion on the Internet, saying that Zion should **, should quit carbonated drinks, should practice three-point shooting, "Don't always dunk, as lacking in novelty as you are in bed".
