Zion Williamson played 35 minutes on Tuesday night in a New Orleans Pelicans loss to the Utah Jazz. He was again a physical force, bullying his way to 32 points on 14-of-19 shooting. He s up to 34.1 minutes a game this month, which is pretty high in the Load Management Era, but for old school guys, it s just not enough. Karl Malone was on the Knuckleheads podcast with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles this week and argued that Zion should be playing a lot more.
