Paul George says he spoke with Nike following Zion Williamson's shoe malfunction on Wednesday night against North Carolina.
Williamson, who was wearing Nike's PG 2.5 during the game, ripped through his shoe just 30 seconds into the game and winced in pain while grabbing the back of his leg. The 6'7", 275-pound forward left for the locker room immediately afterward and did not return.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the game that Williamson had suffered a mild knee sprain.
George wished Williamson well and added that he was unsure what caused his signature shoes to fall apart.
