Pelicans' Zion Williamson Shows Off Full-Back Tattoo in Social Media Video

Zion Williamson revealed some new ink on Friday.

The New Orleans Pelicans star unveiled a fresh tattoo that covers his entire back on social media, which included a video that detailed the process.

Williamson has averaged 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the free-throw line in six appearances this season.

After suiting up in a career-high 70 games during the 2023-24 regular season, the 24-year-old has been plagued by injuries once again to open the 2024-25 campaign.

Williamson initially missed the Pelicans' season-opener due to an illness. He's also been ruled out of the team's past seven games after suffering a strained left hamstring against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 6, and his timetable for a return is unknown.

The No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA draft discussed his experience with the injury when speaking to reporters on Friday.

"When I left the arena, I felt fine," Williamson explained, via NBA.com's Jim Eichenhofer. "No problems, no nothing. Got up the next day and came in for treatments, and felt more sore than usual. Got it checked out. It wasn't what I wanted to hear. The initial part [of hearing the news of being sidelined] is always rough on your mental. After the first week, your spirits are back up. Being around the guys helps as well."

New Orleans has dealt with injuries to several key players to begin the year, contributing to the team's 4-12 record.

Offseason acquisition Dejounte Murray suffered a fractured hand in the first game of the regular season, while veteran shooting guard CJ McCollum has missed 12 consecutive contests due to a right adductor strain.

As Williamson recovers from his hamstring issue, he showcased his latest tattoo on social media.
