Zion Williamson signs his five-year extension.

«I'm locked in,» Zion says. https://t.co/76N3lDLyoU

Williamson is "locked in" and the Pelicans are satisfied with the five-year deal worth up to $231 million.

A series of injuries have limited Williamson to just 85 games in three NBA seasons, including a fractured foot that wiped out his entire 2021-22 campaign.

But Williamson, the No. 1 pick out of Duke in 2019, has proven to be an electric talent when available, averaging 25.7 points on 60.4% shooting over his young career.
