A court motion and sworn affidavit filed by Zion Williamson’s former marketing representative’s attorneys in federal court today alleges that Williamson’s stepfather solicited and accepted a $400,000 payment from a marketing agent in October 2018.
The agent’s attorneys say the affidavit and other pieces of evidence show that Williamson was ineligible when he competed for Duke in the 2018-19 season.
According to ESPN.com:
Exhibits attached to the motion include an affidavit from Donald Kreiss, a Los Angeles-based entrepreneur, who says he engages in fundraising, deal-making and investing. Kreiss said he was introduced to Duric by a third party and agreed to invest in Duric’s company, Maximum Management Group, in exchange for a percentage of the money generated from its exclusive marketing agreement with Williamson.
