The legal battle between Zion Williamson and his former agent now includes allegations he received impermissible benefits prior to playing at Duke.

“As soon as Duke was made aware of any allegation that might have affected Zion Williamson’s eligibility, we conducted a thorough and objective investigation which was directed by individuals outside the athletics department,” Michael Schoenfeld, Duke University Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations / Chief Communications Officer, said in the statement. “We found no evidence to support any allegation.

Cedriquze Johnson of Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, says Prime Sports owes him 5% of the proceeds it receives for its deals with Williamson. Johnson said he attended Williamson’s high school and summer-league games as well as games during his Duke career. Ford initially agreed to pay Johnson 8% commission before the two sides settled on 5% in January 2019.
