US Edition"Stick to solitaire" - Pelicans PR Brutally Trolls Stephen A.Smith Over Zion Williamson 'Food Addiction' Dig
- During Wednesday's First Take, Smith responded after the Pelicans posted clips of his past, saying `We heighten our level of sensitivity because I pointed out something about the star of your team and the franchise. You want to use that as an opportunity to get at me. Very, very bad mistake on your part, because as a franchise, you don't have the credentials` and `By the way, my popularity is higher than anybody on your team outside of Zion Williamson.`
- The Pelicans' social-media post opened with a flashback of Smith's past remarks after Zion Williamson's Tuesday interview with Malika Andrews about his injury and criticism.
- Nearly 65 games into the season, the Pelicans have yet to reach 20 wins, with Williamson playing in 45 of 62 games and featuring in 36 of the last 37.
- Smith clarified his rant wasn't aimed at Joe Dumars, Trey Murphy III, Saddiq Bey, or Williamson, and said he's rooting for Williamson, concluding with `Again, Joe Dumars is in the house.`
- With the franchise still built around Williamson, management traded away Ingram and a top ten 2026 NBA Draft pick to the Hawks, complicating their future path.
