The NBA season always brings surprises, and the 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers’ journey from a shaky start to the Western Conference Finals was a testament to this. As the 2023-24 season unfolds, potential game-changing scenarios are already on the horizon, promising a season filled with unpredictability.
One major question looms: What if the Pelicans stay healthy, particularly focusing on Zion Williamson’s condition? Last season, the Pelicans showcased their potential, even leading the charts at one point. However, injuries took a toll, leading to a downfall. When fit, Williamson has proven unstoppable, leaving defenses in awe. His opening night performance, including impressive dunks over Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr., showcased his prowess.
The Western Conference boasts formidable teams, and New Orleans, with talents like Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, and Jonas Valančiūnas, stands as a contender. If Williamson remains injury-free, the Pelicans could emerge as a top-four force in the fiercely competitive West, adding an exciting twist to the season’s narrative.
