Zion Williamson struggled during the NBA's restart in August as questions continued to plague him about his fitness. Williamson, however, has appeared more explosive in his lone preseason game so far this season. Williamson had 26 points, 11 rebounds and two assists while shooting 11 free throws in 33 minutes.
"I was told that Zion, and I don't think they really wanted to publicize where he was physically when he came back to the bubble, but I have heard that it's in excess of 25 pounds that he's lost from where he was in the bubble to where he is now," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast.
"He is not as svelte by any stretch of the imagination, but he definitely is moving better."
Williamson was limited to 24 games last season following his meniscus surgery.
The Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans are discussing the possibilities of merging their G-League teams together for a potential bubble scenario.

Zion Williamson said that he will not have any minutes restrictions for this upcoming season.
"Me and [Pelicans] coach [Stan] Van Gundy have talked and from what I know now, there are no restrictions. None," said Williamson on Sunday.
Van Gundy said that Williamson easily passed his conditioning test on Sunday.
Williamson added that he expects this upcoming season to go differently now that he has consistent minutes.
When you're going through rehab and when you're finally able to step on the court, three minutes goes by, four minutes by and ... you gotta get subbed out. It was a lot ... I tried to make the most of the situation and I think I did the best that I possibly could. But it's going to be a lot different."
The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to sign Ike Anigbogu.
Anigbogu was a second round pick in 2017 by the Indiana Pacers.
