Zion Williamson has undergone another summer body transformation and is looking seriously jacked as he prepares for his fifth season with the New Orleans Pelicans.
The oft-injured superstar only played in 23 games last season and is seemingly becoming less available every year. But there is hope that the 2023/24 campaign could be the one in which the Pelicans’ decision to draft him finally pays off.
An X post from the basketball account, NBA Central, shows Zion looking impressively muscular. The tweet, which could be seen below, is captioned “Zion. Scary hours.”
Given Zion’s history, though, fans are cautious about buying into the hype. This is not the first time he’s been pictured looking different during the offseason, only to disappoint when it really counts.

Willamson has battled weight issues his entire pro career. As if the latest injury setback wasn’t bad enough, the Pels star has also been thrust into off-court drama with an adult film star who reacted to his gender reveal video with claims that they’ve been together the whole time and she had no idea he was seeing someone else.
Moriah Mills, the woman in question, had her X account suspended due to her abuse. But she has kept it going on Instagram, even sharing photos of the player’s name tattooed on her face.
