Report: Pelicans concerned about Zion Williamson weighing more than 300 pounds
Zion Williamson's health has been central to the friction between him and the Pelicans.
www.nbcsports.comHere’s the latest I can summarize based on recent reporting:
- Zion Williamson reportedly weighed about 264 pounds, which would be the lightest weight he’s carried in his NBA career, with ESPN’s Michael Wright citing that figure in February 2025. This marked a noticeable drop from the 284-pound listing NBA.com used earlier in the season. [cite ][cite ]
- Multiple outlets echoed that Williamson had trimmed down in the lead-up to the 2024-25 season and into that year, with reports highlighting a “slimmer” and more athletic look for the Pelicans. [cite ][cite ]
- The weight updates have been part of broader coverage about his health and conditioning, including discussions around hamstring injuries that affected his availability, though those reports focused on performance alongside weight changes. [cite ][cite ]
Notes:
- The Pelicans officially list him around 284 pounds, but several sources indicate he was down to the mid-260s during the 2024-25 season. Weight figures in professional basketball can vary by reporting source and time of measurement. [cite ][cite ]
