New Orleans has started a major cleaning following the injuries that have affected the club, and in particular Zion Williamson. It was first Aaron Nelson, the physical trainer, who was pushed out and it is now Teresa Weatherspoon, the Hall of Famer who became an assistant in Louisiana, who is not retained.
A choice that logically speaks because Terese Weatherspoon, who joined the club in 2019, worked particularly with Zion Williamson, to whom she was close. The latter saw in her “his big sister”!
It remains to be seen if these changes are a sign that New Orleans is ready to turn the page on Zion Williamson, whose attitude and work ethic are increasingly annoying in the bayou, or if the club wants to reshape the entourage of his strong winger, precisely to avoid reliving these frustrating campaigns forever.
According to Jonathan Givonyof ESPN, very well informed at this time of the year, it is the second option.
The insider thus explains that the Pelicans have certainly made phone calls, in particular to Charlotte, to see what the Hornets would like in exchange for the second choice of the Draft, in order to be able to get their hands on Scoot Henderson, whom La Nouvelle- Orleans would have in the viewfinder. But Charlotte quickly realized that Zion Williamson was unavailable on a trade. Just like Brandon Ingram, obviously…
