Zion Williamson cannot catch a break on or off the court.
The New Orleans Pelicans star forward’s hamstring injury doesn’t appear to be progressing much amid his month-long absence.
In the meantime, his name was buzzing this week after an Instagram comment section was shared to X.
On one side, there was a picture of Sydney Thomas, the new social media star since her appearance in the ring during the Tyson-Paul boxing match. The picture showed her in a see-through shirt while posing at Allegiant Stadium to take in a Raiders game in Las Vegas.
The second picture showed Zion Williamson in her comment section saying, “Check you’re DM shorty.”
Sydney replied right afterwards savagely, saying, “Huh?? Who are you calling shorty? I’m good…enjoy ur recovery.”

The only problem with this interaction between Zion Williamson and Sydney Thomas is that it is completely fake.

“enjoy ur recovery😭😭😭,” one fan stated.
“Zion shooting his shot,” as one fan posted a funny video.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
