This guy explains this pretty well and also breaks down some of the risk factors for Zion outside of simply his athleticism mixed with his size.

Just as you posted, the analysis explained why the injury happened and the risk factors.
A lot better than my posting about the weight Zion carries on those knees and ankles.
I especially took note of the 100 lb. weight gain. He hasn't had the time for his legs to
bear the weight of it, if they could at all.
And how he simply walks like an old man, his body swaying from side to side as he puts
weight on each leg. It was mentioned that he might have flat feet -- no natural arches.
I was born 2 months premature with no arches, and I know how weary that makes it to be
on your feet, let alone as an athlete. For 78 years, I've never swayed like Zion when I walk.
It is a shame. The NBA was counting on him to be their #1 attraction as LeBron's
dominance wears down.
