Duke star Zion Williamson is suing to enforce his termination of an agreement he signed with a Florida marketing company, maintaining their deal was unlawful under North Carolina law, his attorneys told ESPN.
Williamson is set to become the No. 1 overall pick to the New Orleans Pelicans in next week's NBA Draft.
According to the suit filed in North Carolina district court on Thursday, Williamson signed a marketing deal with Gina Ford and Prime Sports on April 20, five days after he had declared his intention to enter the NBA draft.
