New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has undergone a change to his appearance following his return to the court.
The former No. 1 overall pick rejoined the Pelicans this month, having been out since November 6, and boasts a whole new look.
Zion started the season with a full beard and some very noticeable tattoos, but he has lined up a bit smaller with a goatee that the Pelicans seem to like as they shared a photo of their star on Friday night.
