Zion Williamson's weight did not cause his knee injury, New Orleans Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Tuesday.

Zion Williamson's weight did not cause his knee injury, New Orleans Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Tuesday.

"The notion that this happened because Zion is in poor condition is asinine," Griffin said Tuesday before the Pelicans opened the season at Toronto. "He wasn't in poor condition when he went 12 of 13 last week. That's not what it is. He's just a very unique body type and certainly from a physics perspective."

"Less weight, less torque is a theory," David Griffin said. "But you look at a player like Blake Griffin, who generated enormous torque and had the issues he had his career. It took a while for him to find stasis in his body, and we think that could be the same with Zion."
