New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson has had a very rough time when it comes to injury. The Pelicans had high hopes for the 2024-25 NBA season, but all of that came to an abrupt end when Zion was sidelined indefinitely with a hamstring injury. Through five seasons, Zion has only played 190 games but has missed 211 games for the Pelicans. It's gotten to a point where former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins believes that Zion deserves a disrespectful nickname, similar to what Anthony Davis experienced.
Philadelphia 76ers stars Joel Embiid and Paul George will not play on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both stars are out due to injury management despite Embiid previously saying he was open to playing in the second of a back-to-back. The 76ers were defeated 111-99 in Embiid's season debut, as Philadelphia fell to 2-8 to begin the 2024-25 season. With Embiid set to sit out yet again on Wednesday after missing the first nine games of the season, NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins believes the NBA should launch another investigation.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been one of the NBA's best players to start the new season. Averaging 29.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists, Edwards has also significantly increased his three-point volume. Averaging 11.6 three-point attempts per game, Edwards is making them at a 48.1 percent clip. While Edwards will likely not continue to shoot over 48 percent from three, this increase in volume seems like something he will continue to emphasize - especially if his efficiency remains at a career-high mark.
