Zion Williamson is having fun at Summer League despite being benched for injury

It’s such a bummer for NBA fans that Zion Williamson will miss the rest of the Summer League action after injuring his knee just nine minutes into his New Orleans Pelicans debut.

But that hasn’t stopped him from having a blast watching from the bench and participating in shootaround.

And it’s really cool what he’s doing, especially when I’ve seen some questions thrown out about his shooting, although casually hitting from distance during shootaround is much, much different than doing it in-game, with a hand in your face.

Nonetheless, check this out: Here’s Williamson hitting nothing but net from halfcourt:

And a shot while sitting from the bench!

And this reaction while watching Grayson Allen block his teammate’s dunk attempt is priceless:

I love his smile after Jaxson Hayes’ dunk:

That looks like he’s having the most fun despite not playing.
