Zion Williamson, the talented forward for the New Orleans Pelicans, recently showcased a new tattoo that spans across his entire back. He shared the unveiling on social media, complete with a video detailing the intricate process of the artwork.

The 24-year-old player has been sidelined to begin the 2024-25 NBA season due to ongoing injury issues. Despite averaging 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game in his limited appearances this season, Williamson missed the Pelicans' season opener due to illness and has sat out the subsequent seven games following a strained left hamstring sustained against the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 6. His recovery timeframe remains uncertain.

Discussing his experiences with the injury, Williamson stated, 'When I left the arena, I felt fine. No problems, no nothing. Got up the next day and came in for treatments, and felt more sore than usual.' He noted the emotional toll of being sidelined but emphasized that being around teammates helps lift his spirits during the recovery process. The Pelicans have faced a difficult start to their season, battling injuries to key players, contributing to their current 4-12 record.
