All eyes are on Zion Williamson after the Pelicans season collapsed.

The All-Star forward — who’s been out since Jan. 2 while recovering from a right hamstring strain — looked explosive while dunking during warmups before Wednesday’s season-ending loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the play-in tournament game.

Although Williamson appeared to be moving well, he did not suit up for the crucial matchup at Smoothie King Center — which raised eyebrows for some.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst found Williamson’s decision to put on a pregame dunk show “odd” — and said during an appearance on “Get Up” Thursday that he was told the 22-year-old was not close to returning.

“I’m going to take it back 12 months,” Windhorst said. “Zion played some games last year when he wasn’t cleared to return from that foot injury, started posting stuff on Instagram of him dunking, tantalizing fans. Then he does this.

“From what I understand he hasn’t done this before a game in several weeks and choosing to do this with national television cameras recording it is just an odd decision.”

Windhorst went on to report that Williamson was not cleared for 1-on-1 action — despite the star forward telling reporters this week that he’s physically fine.

“From what I am told, Zion was not even close to ever playing,” Windhorst said. “He had not done anything meaningful in practice. Forget about 5-on-5, he hadn’t been cleared to do 1-on-1 yet.

“He was nowhere close to playing, he comes out with those quotes two days ago that he actually can play but mentally can’t play, that’s a little bit complicated to say publicly right before a playoff game. Then he does this.”

After the game, Pelicans veteran CJ McCollum, who played through a thumb injury, had an interesting assessment of players’ availability.

“Availability is important, man. We’ve got to be available,” McCollum said.

“We’ve got to do what we need to do off the court in terms of preparation, in terms of getting treatment, in terms of getting the right sleep, the right type of hydration, having the right type of diet. Everything has to matter to us for everybody, one through 15.”

McCollum’s comments came a day after “Undisputed” host Skip Bayless reported there is dysfunction within the Pelicans organization — and claimed that Williamson’s teammates aren’t happy with him.

Bayless said on Tuesday’s installment of the FS1 show that he heard Pelicans team doctors cleared Williamson to play before Wednesday’s play-in game, but that his independent medical team wasn’t on board with the decision. 

Bayless added that Williamson’s stepfather, Lee Anderson, is “running the show” and Pelicans’ management believes the medical advice the family is following from outside the organization is holding Williamson back.

Earlier this week, Williamson spoke with reporters for the first time in months, and alluded to other hurdles keeping him from a return to the court.

“Physically I’m fine, now it’s just a matter of when I feel like Zion,” Williamson said. 

“I know the atmosphere I’d be entering based off like the playoff experience. So now it’s just a matter of when I feel like Zion.”

Williamson signed a five-year, $193 million rookie max contract with escalators up to $231 million in July 2022.

The Duke product — and 2019 No. 1 pick — missed the entire 2021-22 season recovering from a surgically repaired right foot fracture.
