[Saba Sports News] Zion Williamson’s transformation seems to be real.
Ian Casselberry of Yahoo! Sports reported that the New Orleans Pelicans star is now down to 281 pounds, lighter than his college weight of 285 at Duke. Williamson aims to drop further to 272 pounds before the NBA season begins.
This news follows Williamson’s viral appearance at a South Carolina basketball camp, where he looked noticeably slimmer.
At 24, Williamson has battled weight and conditioning issues, leading to frequent injuries. However, after playing a career-high 70 games last season, he appears to be on the right track. Previously listed at 284 pounds, it’s likely Williamson was over 300 pounds at his peak, making this weight loss a positive development.
