NBA Players Reacting To Zion Williamson’s Injury

For last night’s college matchup between North Carolina and Duke, Superbowl prices were paid for tickets to the game. Tickets went for an average resale price of $3,296. Everyone, including Barack Obama, came out to see the duel between the arch rivals, not least because of Zion Williamson.

But then, after just 33 seconds, Williamson’s shoe gave out and ripped. This resulted in his knee twisting and Williamson leaving the game. He did not return. While people initially were worried about Zion possibly suffering a serious injury,  coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters after the game that it was a mild knee sprain.

Many NBA players were watching the game as well and also were worried, sending blessings to the basketball phenom via Twitter.

Let these kids go straight out of HS!!! Too much on the line to be messing with college if you got a legit chance to turn pro. One injury can change somebody career, Zion sit yo ass down lol and we will be ready for you in the big boy league #LookingOutForThePlayers

Instead of making a self serving shoe joke I hope @ZionW32 is ok.
