Here’s a concise update based on recent reporting.
- Zion Williamson reportedly weighed around 264 pounds, which would be his lightest weight since entering the NBA, with ESPN’s Michael C. Wright noting this figure in February 2025. This marked a notable drop from his listed 284 pounds on NBA.com at the time. [cite ][cite ]
- Multiple outlets echoed the same weight figure (264 lb) as part of a trend toward a leaner physique, and the coverage highlighted possible links to improved conditioning and performance in the 2024–25 season. [cite ][cite ]
- A broader context: previous reports over the years have cited weights fluctuating well above 300 pounds, so the 264-pound figure represents a significant shift in how he’s been listed and perceived in terms of conditioning. [cite ][cite ]
