Re: "All Duke student-athletes are subject to a thorough review to ensure their eligibility," White said in a statement at the time. "In men's basketball, for the past several summers, Duke compliance officials, top recruits and their families have engaged in and cooperated fully with the NCAA Eligibility Center's enhanced amateurism certification process. Duke works closely with the NCAA and the Atlantic Coast Conference on all compliance and eligibility matters. As we have stated in the past, we have an uncompromising commitment to compliance in athletics."
Duke said it conducted a months-long investigation into Avenatti's allegations and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
Just sayin': That's so funny.......

Judge says Zion Williamson must answer questions under oath about improper benefits at Duke
A Florida state court judge on Tuesday denied New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson's request to stay discovery into whether he was eligible under NCAA rules when he played one season at Duke in 2018-19.
Florida 11th Circuit Court Judge David Miller ruled that Williamson will be required to answer interrogatories and requests for admissions from attorneys representing Gina Ford and Prime Sports Marketing, who are suing Williamson for $100 million for breaching their marketing agreement.
Williamson's attorneys are expected to file an appeal with Florida's Third District Court of Appeal, arguing that an earlier federal case in North Carolina involving the same parties and claims has precedence.
Williamson's attorneys have asked a federal judge in that case to void his marketing agreement with Ford and Prime Sports Marketing, claiming it wasn't valid because Ford wasn't a registered agent in North Carolina and the contract didn't include a warning that was required by a state law designed to protect amateur athletes from unscrupulous agents.

Zion Williamson Is Running Out Of Time To Get His Shit Together Now That The Final 3 Years Of His $197M Extension Are No Longer Guaranteed

In July 2022, the Pelicans did what pretty much every franchise does when their star player is up for his rookie extension. They maxed him out and didn't think twice about it.
It's not like they had a choice even with the injury and weight issues, that's just how things work in the NBA. Teams can't afford to lose their assets for nothing, especially when they have no real way of replacing that talent, so they pay whatever it takes to keep the player.
What made Zion's contract unique though is there were certain clauses that he had to hit in order to make his money. When this deal was first announced we learned that there was a weight clause in it
but as it turns out, that was only the tip of the iceberg. There's also apparently a games played requirement.

Just sayin': Who knew that he has stipulations in his contract that can unguarantee guaranteed money?

Just shocking that you can reach the pinnacle of athletic achievement, have this much natural ability, and yet have trouble not being a lazy fatass
