Williamson had dealt with a lot of injuries from 2021-23, and last year was his first time playing 70+ games in an NBA season.

He has shown that when he is on the floor, he is among the best forwards in the league.

Zion Williamson has become the 12th player in NBA history to score 2,000 points before their 80th career game.

The only other player to do this in the last 40 years is Michael Jordan.
