The NBA CORNER podcast hosts Charles de Jouvenel to talk about the strange dynamic between Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans. Considered the club’s central player, the winger was heavily criticized by his former teammate, JJ Redick.
Former Magic, Clippers and Pelicans fullback didn’t mince words on Zion Williamson’s lack of involvement in the locker room after revelations he didn’t call CJ McCollum following his transfer to New Orleans. Still injured in the foot, with a rehabilitation organized away from the team, Zion Williamson is having a particularly difficult start to his career, both in terms of injuries and in his communication (or rather his absence) with fans and the press.
Josh and Charles then talk about James Harden’s very promising debut for the Philadelphia Sixers… after just three games. And the status of the club in the title race within the Eastern Conference. The podcast ends with the Lakers coming off a four-game losing streak since All-Star Weekend, and appearing to be headed straight for a nightmarish end to the season (we’ve known that for a while now), and an offseason. even more difficult.
