Zion Williamson Does Not Return vs. FSU After Getting Poked in Eye
Duke forward Zion Williamson was forced to leave Saturday's game against Florida State early after getting poked in the eye late in the first half. He did not return in the second half, but the Blue Devils escaped with a 80-78 win.
Williamson had 11 points, eight rebounds and two assists in the first half before getting tangled with Florida State guard Trent Forrest.
The freshman entered the season as one of the most hyped high school players in years thanks to his viral dunks, although he has shown he is more than just highlights.
The 5-star prospect was rated as the No. 5 overall player in the 2018 recruiting class, per 247Sports, and was a key part of Duke's No. 1 class in the country.
