Zion Williamson 'Taking a Backseat' Amid New Orleans Pelicans' Struggles

Team on Five-Game Losing Streak as Star Player Underperforms

Zion Williamson, star player for the New Orleans Pelicans, has expressed frustration and is 'taking a backseat' in the team, while 'trusting the process'.
Despite being healthy, Williamson's performance has been underwhelming this season, with averages of 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in eight games.
The Pelicans are currently on a five-game losing streak, with a 4-6 record this season.
Williamson's role in the team has been overshadowed by Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum, with the latter now out indefinitely due to a collapsed lung.
Despite the challenges, the Pelicans still have potential for a playoff spot, with a strong team including Brandon Ingram, C.J. McCollum, and Jonas Valanciunas.
