Zion Williamson Officially Inactive for Duke vs. UNC Because of Knee Injury

Duke announced that superstar freshman Zion Williamson will not play in Saturday's game against rival North Carolina, according to Marc J. Spears of ESPN's The Undefeated.

Williamson continues to recover from a Grade 1 right knee sprain suffered during the opening seconds of an 88-72 loss to UNC in late February. Saturday will mark Williamson's fifth consecutive missed game, and the No. 4 Blue Devils are 3-1 without him.
