Excited to see how Zion Williamson looks. Heard he weighed 264 just two days ago, which would register as his lightest weight since the Pels drafted him. – 7:02 PM

Longtime Mavs’ nemesis Trey Murphy III has 13 points at the half. Zion Williamson has 15. For the Mavericks, P.J. Washington returns from ankle injury with 20 first-half points. Kyrie Irving with 14 and Max Christie with 12 as Mavs lead 56-53 at the break. – 9:39 PM

Pelicans have clawed back for a 38-37 lead midway through the second quarter. Zion Williamson going to work in the paint, although his free-throw shooting is iffy, to say the least. – 9:26 PM

As promised, he’s been cooking up with Jordan’s team of designers each year since, as the headliner of the annual Air Jordan 37, 38, and 39 models and the only player in the NBA to design his own player-edition (PE) colorways of the brand’s Luka Dončić, Jayson Tatum, and Zion Williamson signature models. “The freedom that they give me, to come up with ideas for PEs, they’re open to whatever I like and whatever I’m feeling,” Banchero now says. “They let me be myself.” As the process has “gotten better every year,” he’s created more than a dozen pairs of exclusive editions since. This season, he’s launching his own PE sneaker for the first time at retail. -via boardroom.tv / February 13, 2025
