CelebnSports247.com reports that JJ Redick blast his former New Orleans Pelicans teammate Zion Williamson and then labeled him a detached teammate.
J.J. Redick, a former New Orleans teammate of Zion’s, isn’t surprised at all to see how Zion is acting. Redick appeared on Tuesday’s edition of First Take to call out Zion’s pattern of behavior.
USAToday reports:
The New Orleans Pelicans made a trade to acquire C.J. McCollum from the Blazers, it was supposed to send a message that the team was serious about building around Zion Williamson.
But all that optimism was quickly wiped away when McCollum revealed that he hadn’t even heard from Williamson since the trade.
Williamson has yet to play in a game this season due to a foot injury, and he has spent much of that time away from the team entirely.
Here is what First Take reported:
