Zion Williamson grabs Chris Paul’s foot and trips him

Zion Williamson was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans in 2019. In three years, Zion has barely played a season’s worth of games. During the 2021 season, Zion was putting the NBA on notice, but injuries soon took him off the court. Last season, he was on the sidelines, as the Pelicans made a surprise run to the NBA Playoffs, and gave the Phoenix Suns a fit. With Zion finally back, the Pelicans are contending for the West’s best record. Last night, they had a rematch against the Suns.

Zion Williamson being back has propelled the New Orleans Pelicans to a top record. When the Pelicans beat the Phoenix Suns, fans got excited. After all, there is a lot of history between the Suns and Pelicans. Firstly, the Suns’ star point guard, Chris Paul, was the Pelicans’ first franchise player. Back then, the team was known as the New Orleans Hornets, but played Paul’s first two seasons in Oklahoma City. In addition, the Pelicans took the Suns to a Game 6, last year, when Phoenix was expected to sweep.

Zion Williamson back in the mix has expectations high for the Pelicans. Last night, they were in Phoenix, taking on the Suns. The game was tough for both teams, as neither let down. As Zion was setting up his offense, Chris Paul stripped him. When he got stripped, Zion lost his balance, as he battled for the ball. As a result, he ended up right at Chris Paul’s ankles. After that, Zion grabbed Paul by the ankle, causing him to fall.
