We’re less than a month away from the NBA’s scheduled return at the Walt Disney World bubble in Orlando, and we’re already seeing some players report to their team’s home facilities.
Just a couple days after three New Orleans Pelicans players tested positive for the coronavirus, the negative-testing players were back at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie, La., for team workouts. Zion Williamson, Jrue Holiday, J.J. Redick, Josh Hart and Nicolo Melli were among the players spotted on Wednesday.
And it gave fans the first opportunity to see what kind of shape the players were in post-quarantine. Let’s just say that NBA fans were impressed with Zion’s look.
Zion, who appeared to trim down a bit during the NBA stoppage, was working out in a mask (follow Zion’s example, everyone!).
At least from the photo, it looked like Zion used his quarantine time wisely. A separate video had him looking in about the same shape as before the stoppage, but still, Zion’s new look impressed NBA Twitter and garnered plenty of Bane comparisons.
