Zion Williamson has pronounced himself fit for the regular-season opener Wednesday in Brooklyn. Kevin Durant called the Pelicans star a singular talent — something he knows about himself.
“Rodney Rogers — I’m missing so many guys that were that tall at 6-6, Charles Barkley, bruiser-type guys but played bigger. But Zion’s athleticism trumps all of theirs by far. When you add that to the mix, it makes him a one-of-one.”But at the Pelicans’ practice on Monday, Williamson proclaimed, “I’m playing Wednesday.” And presuming he does, Brooklyn expects it to be at a high level.
“We were supposed to play on the same AAU team one year, but it ended up not working out,” said Claxton, who played alongside Ja Morant in his last season of AAU ball. “Yeah, the team didn’t come together. We were all supposed to play on the same team, me, Ja, and Zion. … Something about sponsorships. I don’t think we had a shoe deal. I don’t think Zion wanted to play on a non-shoe deal team.”
Brooklyn hired Jonathan Filipe as head athletic trainer. He had been the head athletic trainer for reigning MLS champion NYCFC, replacing Pistons-bound Sebastien Poirier.
