Are the Pelicans Asking Zion Williamson to Fake His Knee Injury?

Utah Jazz v New Orleans Pelicans
Chris Webber: “I think the narrative on Zion has been a little unfair about him being injured, because I really don’t believe he was injured during the preseason. I think that maybe the Pelicans said ‘wait a minute, why would we put him in this situation to get hurt and maybe gave him a little time off.'”

Jason Smith: “Apparently, what Chris Webber wants us to believe is that the Pelicans made up this injury and got everyone on board to lie about it – the players, the coaches, the doctors, the relatives of the players, the wives, and even Lavar Ball. Then put on a fake surgery that never happened.” (Full Audio at Bottom of Page)

Check out the audio below as Jason and Mike agree there is no way to take this theory seriously.
