How much weight did Zion Williamson lose during the NBA summer break?
The Pelicans player, as we have never seen him, has appeared recently at several public events and immediately attracted attention for his new slim-down look.
Zion Williamson has recently appeared at several public events, including hosting a free basketball camp for underprivileged children at his home in Spartanburg, S.C.
In a departure from the past, he has noticeably slimmed down, appearing fit and in great shape. He took a picture with the kids at the Pelicans training center and announced that he is now in optimal shape to play NBA basketball.
How much weight did Zion possibly lose?
It is difficult to determine precisely how much weight Williamson has lost from the last game of the 2023/24 season to today. Estimates suggest it’s around 25 pounds, although visually, it appears to be more.
Also, muscle weight is higher than fat, and athletes may seem to lose more weight visually when converting fat into muscle mass than the scale indicates.
We might finally find out what would happen to Zion if he cut back on those burgers. Being overweight, he has been struggling with injuries or, better said, being prone to them, causing him to miss 184 out of 328 games in the first four NBA seasons after being chosen as the first pick by the Pelicans in 2019.
