On Friday, David Griffin spoke about Zion Williamson’s fitness and health, giving him part of the blame.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think a big part is on him. I think there is a lot he can do better. And he would, I think, tell you that.<\/p>\n
“I think we need to do a better job examining the whole situation top to bottom a little bit better,”<\/p>\n
Williamson, who participated in 29 games this season, missed the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury. Prior to their elimination in the play-in game, the forward was never given permission by the club to play 5-on-5.<\/p>\n
Griffin continued by elaborating on Williamson’s remark from Tuesday that “I can pretty much do anything.”<\/p>\n
\u201cHe makes the one misstatement about, \u2018Physically, I\u2019m fine.\u2019 Had I been here, I would have clarified it immediately. The thing is when you\u2019re going through a rehab process and a player does not report, \u2018I\u2019m very comfortable and confident in this movement,\u2019 you don\u2019t go to the next movement,” added Griffin to Nola.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Friday, David Griffin spoke about Zion Williamson’s fitness and health, giving him part of the blame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92],"tags":[1444,3685],"rumors":[],"typology":[179],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-326617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-new-orleans-pelicans-3","tag-zion-williamson-2","typology-injury"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326617\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326617"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=326617"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=326617"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=326617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
