The recent off-court events surrounding power forward Zion Williamson have shocked high-ranking members of the New Orleans Pelicans organization.
Senior members of the organization have been upset by recent out-of-court developments about Williamson, other outlets have noted.
The organization recently fired assistant coach Teresa Witherspoon, a Naismith Hall of Famer who has been instrumental in the development of several Pelican youths, including Williamson.
“Those who read The Tea Leaves might think that Weatherspoon’s firing was related to the team’s problems with Williamson.”
