Duke's Zion Williamson on Not Playing After Knee Injury: 'Thanks, but No Thanks'

Duke Blue Devils star Zion Williamson never seriously considered sitting out the remainder of his freshman season after suffering a knee sprain against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Feb. 20.

In an interview posted to the NCAA March Madness Twitter account, Williamson brought up how some argued he should've called it a career in college and looked toward the NBA.

"For the people that think I should stop playing in college and focus on the NBA, thanks, but no thanks," he said. "I'm not really worried about that. I'm just trying to be Zion and play the game I love.
