“I’m locked in, baby.”
In front of numerous eyewitnesses, Zion Williamson officially signed on the dotted line of his rookie extension contract yesterday, committing fully to the New Orleans Pelicans for another half decade.
Following the upcoming 2022-23 season, Williamson could earn up to $231 million over a five-year span. While the sum could ultimately wind up a lower amount, the years are written in stone.
There’s no player option in Zion’s contract extension.
Williamson bound himself to the Pelicans for the maximum period allowed under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
