New Orleans Pelicans: Is Zion Williamson wearing down?
After being one of the most durable players in the NBA this season, Zion Williamson appears to be wearing down a bit.
He is still dominating but it looks like the burden of carrying the team this season is finally taking its toll.
It has shown up mostly in his insane shooting percentages, which have dipped over the last few games, especially at the free-throw line.

Zion Williamson has missed a ton of free throws in his last four games, and his shooting from the floor is down from his crazy season averaged of 61 percent.
Williamson has shot just 47 and 50 percent in his last two games, which for him is low. He has had to work very hard to get his points and looks to be sucking wind when he does get to the line.
This is not completely unexpected, as this is by far the most games he has played in a season and it usually takes young players a few years in the league to get their NBA legs underneath them.
Zion Williamson is still dominating, but he is also starting to run out of gas, so it would be nice for a couple of his teammates to step up tonight and take some of the load off him.
