Zion Williamson's injury struggles have cast a shadow over the New Orleans Pelicans' aspirations for the 2024-25 NBA season, as he faces an indefinite sidelining due to a hamstring injury.

Having played only 190 games in five seasons while missing 211, former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins suggests that Zion deserves a derogatory nickname akin to Anthony Davis's 'street clothes,' proposing 'pajamas' instead.

Perkins argues that Zion's frequent injuries prevent him from being the leading figure on a championship-contending team, emphasizing that a top player must be consistently available to pursue a title.
