Zion Williamson is suing a Florida marketing company to enforce the termination of an agreement between the two sides on the basis of the deal being unlawful under North Carolina law, his attorneys told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Five days after declaring for the 2019 NBA draft, Williamson signed a marketing deal with Gina Ford and Prime Sports, per the suit. The deal included a clause stating that it couldn't be terminated for five years.
On May 31, Williamson's family approached Ford and Prime Sports to explain that it was ending the agreement. However, the agency threatened to sue for damages in excess of $100 million.
