Pelicans Fearful Zion Williamson (Hamstring) Will Miss More Time

According to the team, the New Orlean Pelicans are bracing for the reality of Zion Williamson being out for more than his scheduled timeline.

Originally, the 24-year-old was set to return in four to six weeks, however, multiple treatments have not allowed him to properly recover. This has caused him to be no where near playing shape.

Williamson has been out since November 6th, which has caused him to play in only six of the seventeen available games.

Zion appeared in a career-high 70 games last season. He’s only played in 190 career games since entering the league in 2019.

Tyrese Maxey Calls Out Joel Embiid For Being Late To Team Activities

With the Philadelphia 76ers starting the season 2-11, tensions and speculations of what is happening have been rising. Notably, Monday night, Tyrese Maxey and the team had an emergency meeting to discuss what’s wrong.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Joel Embiid was called out by Maxey. This is due to him not being a leader and not being able to show up on time to team activities.

“In the meeting, Maxey challenged Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late “for everything” and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff.” Shams Charania wrote on ESPN.

Kyle Lowry did call for this meeting to happen, and the biggest “elephant in the room” was Embiid. Embiid has been noticeably lacking since last season.

Beyond Embiid getting called out, Philadelphia’s players are demanding head coach Nick Nurse to push them harder. Coaches responded by wanting their players to pay more attention to detail and practice with a purpose.

Overall, the meeting was a positive one, which saw coaches and players share the blame for the way they began this season.
