New team, same old high-five struggles.
Zion Williamson left teammate Josh Hart waiting for a high-five in what was a seemingly awkward sequence during the New Orleans Pelicans’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.
During the first quarter the game, Pelicans players were walking towards the bench for a stoppage in play. Hart had his hand up looking for a high-five from Williamson but got snubbed.

Some might question why Williamson was snubbing his teammate, but this is part of a running joke.
Hart’s high-five issues went back to the guard’s days with the Lakers:

Williamson also snubbed Hart in October:
