Duke Basketball: Zion Williamson leaves with injury in the opening seconds

Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski continued to roll with the starting lineup of Tre Jones, Cam Reddish, R.J. Barrett, Zion Williamson, and Marques Bolden against the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Cameron Indoor Stadium was once again celebrity central with former President Barack Obama, MLB Hall of Famer Ken Griffey, and movie star Spike Lee in the house, but there was still a game to be played.

It didn’t take long for a storyline to develop tonight as Zion Williamson broke through his shoe in the opening 40 seconds of this game and went down grabbing the back of his knee and leg area.
