Zion Williamson

Playing in his first game since May 4, 2021, Zion Williamson makes a glorious return to action for the New Orleans Pelicans in their opening matchup of the 2022-23 season. The former first overall pick didn’t waste any time getting back to work against the Brooklyn Nets, capping off a possession of swing passes with a backboard-shaking two-hand slam. The Pelicans raced out to an 18-point lead after one quarter and never looked back on October 19, 2022, as Williamson contributed 25 points, nine rebounds, three assists and four steals in an impressive 130-108 road win.
