Zion Williamson Asked to Admit he Took Money to go to Duke

Zion Williamson‘s hiatus has been occupied by a lawsuit filed by his former marketing agent Gina Ford, who is now claiming Zion may have received benefits to attend Duke.

According to Daniel Wallach, legal analyst for The Athletic, Ford has requested admissions from Zion Williamson in the lawsuit her company filed against him.

Ford is seeking $100 million from Williamson after the New Orleans Pelicans’ rookie sued her firm to get out of contract he claimed was void, according to Sports Illustrated.

In a nutshell, Zion was trying to get out of a contract with his agent and now the agency is counter suing and things are getting ugly.
