Pelicans Have No Intention Of Waiving Zion Williamson
The New Orleans Pelicans are 4-18 and mired in a nine-game losing streak. That's gone hand in hand with Zion Williamson being out since November 6. This continues a trend of Williamson missing more than half of all available games since he entered the NBA. Despite the chronic injuries, combined with Williamson's unique contract structure, the Pelicans have no intention of waiving Williamson this offseason. New Orleans could get out of Williamson's contract with somewhere between $0 and $7.9 million owed, depending on the forward meeting weight clauses in the contract. The Pelicans continue to send signs that their priority is to find a way to get, and keep, Williamson healthy. The team is also continuing to search for ways to optimize the roster around Williamson.
