Duke star Zion Williamson has been the best player in college basketball this season, and he could be on track to be the No. 1 pick in the 2019 Draft — if he remains healthy, that is.
He may have suffered a setback in that department on Wednesday night, when he suited up to square off against UNC in the big rivalry game. Williamson, on one particular play, attempted to make a move by planting his foot. The problem is that his sneaker blew apart, and Williamson went down on the court in pain, clutching his legs.

It’s believed that Williamson suffered a knee injury, with speculation about it possibly being an MCL sprain, but there’s no diagnosis as of yet. He did not return to the game.
