“I want to use the right term, but in the moment, it didn’t feel too good,” Williamson said. “It was one of those things that happened and I popped back up like, ‘Yeah, I’m straight.’ Played a few minutes after that, felt fine, then they sent me to the back just to double-check.”

His injury looked scary because he could easily have broken his ankle because of his weight. Fortunately, Zion got lucky this time because the injury wasn't as bad as it initially looked.
