Very few NBA rookies are plaintiffs in federal lawsuits. Even fewer are sued in state court right after they sue in federal court. In fact, there might be only one rookie in the league’s 73-year history who fits this description.
Zion Williamson has become a seasoned litigant months before he plays in his first NBA regular season game.
On Wednesday, attorneys for the New Orleans Pelicans forward filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. They hope to expand Williamson’s lawsuit against Prime Sports Marketing, a Florida based company, and its president, Gina Ford.
