Zion Williamson Details Off-Season Transformation and Health Reset

At Pelicans media day, Zion Williamson described a comprehensive conditioning overhaul—developed with trainer Daniel Bove during hamstring rehab—that included boxing, field work, and varied circuits. He says he “feels good” for the first time since college, signaling renewed confidence after years of fitness scrutiny and injuries. Head coach Willie Green praised Williamson’s commitment, stressing availability as the key to the Pelicans’ ceiling. Despite All-NBA talent, Williamson has missed 268 of 482 possible games across six seasons, including a full-season absence in 2021–22 and an early shutdown in 2024–25. The forward also credited work with Teresa Weatherspoon for on-court growth. With conditioning and mindset aligned, New Orleans hopes a healthier Williamson anchors a deeper push in the West—if his durability finally turns the corner.
