NBA Fans Declare Zion Williamson ‘Back’ After Monster Alley-Oop on Tuesday Night
His real fans will say he never left.
New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson was, by popular opinion, “back” in a 104–91 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. The 6' 6" , 284-pound forward put together a stellar 28-point performance which included a jaw-dropping alley-oop in the fourth quarter.
Often scrutinized over health and fitness concerns, Williamson appeared to be at the top of his game on Tuesday and capped off another impressive outing as the Pelicans extended their hot streak to seven victories in their last eight games.
The two-time All-Star has averaged 26.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in his last seven matchups, shooting a whopping 64% from the field.
NBA fans were quick to take notice of Williamson’s New Orleans renaissance of sorts. Some even pointed out the fifth-year standout looked as confident and dominant as he did during his college hooping days at Duke.
The Pelicans (42–26) are just a half-game back from the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. New Orleans will play the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
