“Must have been doing cardio”: Fans react on social media after news of Zion Williamson losing 25 pounds weight

ESPN NBA reporter’s claim about the weight loss of the New Orleans Pelicans young forward Zion Williamson has caught the eye of the fans on social media.

Brian Windhorst, who works for ESPN, in a recent post on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — stated that the 23-year-old has lost about 25 pounds in the recent past.

“I’ve got people in New Orleans telling me that since December, when the In-Season Tournament happened, Zion Williamson has lost 25 or more pounds and his performance has been excellent,” he wrote.

That post caught the attention of the fans who posted some interesting remarks on X. One user even went on to write: “bro must have been doing cardio in Texas.”

Williamson has been one of the star performers for the Pelicans this season where he is contributing 22.6 points per game, the best out of all the players from the franchise.

In his most recent outing against the Portland Trail Blazers, Williamson ended up registering 26 points to go with 10 rebounds and three assists.

His most impressive performance this season came in the match against the Washington Wizards where he ended up contributing 36 points to go with six rebounds and eight assists.
