Zion is carrying too much mass & bulk (284 lbs on a 6-6 frame) - he's built more like an NFL DE/edge rusher. That size has got take it's toll on his body in a high-impact sport like professional basketball.

Zion Williamson reportedly refuses to prioritize diet and conditioning: '[He] doesn't listen'

Zion's lack of fitness and/or energy continues to be a problem

Yes you can imagine the strain on the lower body. Many people are saying the same.

Zion is 'thicker' than most BB players, but why does he have more frequent injuries than a similar sized athletes from other sports (ie: NFL)? IMO, he doesn't do what needs to be done to prepare his body. He is around 300 lbs, and could certainly drop 20 lbs just by reducing his body fat % to a healthier level.

He has lost weight before and worked with a nutritionist but it's obviously a struggle for him.

No real surprises so far. Expected Denver to be too good for the Lakers. Good win for the Timberwolves.

If the Nuggets plays well, the Lakers have little to no chance. The Nuggets are simply the better team.

Clippers destroying the Mavs right now, without Leonard. Doesn’t look good for the Mavs.

That Lakers loss has to be deflating after having a 20 point lead in the second half. Denver beaten the Lakers ten straight times now ! Cleveland looks too good for Orlando. Knicks well positioned to see off the 76ers.

That could have been the only chance the Lakers had in this series.

Looks like a sweep coming up for Denver.

Nice win for Orlando. They needed that after two losses. Still scratching my head over the Celtics losing to Miami without Jimmy Butler ................

Suns get swept. Bucks and 76ers in big trouble. Lakers got a break. Murray has a calf injury going into game 5.

Lakers and Pelicans go out, Miami on the way out it seems. Lakers had some close games, interesting series. Pelicans without Zion were always going to struggle.

Knicks missed a golden opportunity tonight.

Cavaliers won a crucial game 5 against the Magic.

Bucks season could be over tonight. Who would have thought of that earlier this season?

Out west, the winner of the Nuggets Timberwolves series could be the nba champion this season. That should be a really good series.

If the Knicks miss out again expect an epic Stephen A Smith rant..............Maxey saved the 76ers temporarily.
