Watch Zion Williamson Tear Through Shoe, Suffer Apparent Leg Injury vs. UNC

Not even shoes can contain Zion Williamson.

The Duke Blue Devils freshman gave fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium a scare during the opening minute of Wednesday's game against the North Carolina Tar Heels when he went down with an apparent leg injury after his left shoe ripped as he planted with the ball.

He headed toward the bench under his own power, which was a relief for Duke fans counting on him to parlay his immense talent into a national championship run. The likely No. 1 pick in the upcoming 2019 NBA draft then went back to the locker room for further examination.
