Beijing time on March 19, according to the famous reporter Brain Windhorst, Pelicans star Zion Williamson has lost 25 pounds since December last year; the reporter said: Sources in New Orleans told me that since Zion has lost 25 pounds (11.3 kg) or more since the mid-season championship in December, and his performance on the court has been outstanding.
Since Zion entered the league, the outside world has been calling on him to lose weight. However, Zion is not only unwilling to control his eating habits, but also bluntly said that he often eats some junk food, which may be due to his excessive weight.

As we all know, Zion’s best way of scoring is to rely on his excellent athletic ability to attack the opponent’s penalty area. This season's inside scoring average is 17.6 points per game, ranking second in the league behind Antetokounmpo.
The Pelicans currently rank fifth in the Western Conference with 41 wins and 26 losses, only 1 game behind the Clippers. Zion and Ingram are leading the team to strive for the top four in the Western Conference.
