Zion Williamson lawsuit sheds light on new evidence regarding cars and housing

Former agent Gina Ford has doubled down on her claims regarding Zion Williamson and his eligibility at Duke during the 2018-19 college basketball season.

Today, Ford claimed in a new court filing that Williamson received money to attend Duke and should have been declared “permanently ineligible” in his lone season in Durham.

After being granted a stay in the case, along with being told he will not have to testify in his own defense, Williamson and his family are being accused of receiving “monies, benefits, and/or other prohibited benefits,” with all the evidence being publicly recorded.

In the new court filing, Ford cites numerous text messages about the former Duke star from Nike in 2017, along with wiretapped conversations with Kansas assistant Kurtis Townsend regarding Williamson’s recruitment.
