BANKING ON ZION! | Zion Williamson $193M Contract Requirement | Will Zion Live Up To The Hype?

In This Live Stream We Discuss Zion Williamson’s new max contract reportedly has some steep demands off-the-court. Earlier this month, the Pelicans big man signed a five-year, $193 million rookie max contract — with escalators up to $231 million — but, according to Nola.com, there is a de-escalator clause in the deal related to Williamson’s weight. The contract states that Williamson will have periodic weigh-ins throughout the entirety of his new deal, and stipulates that his weight and body fat percentage must be below a combined 295. If his weight isn’t within the threshold of the deal, he could lose an amount of guaranteed money. Williamson’s weight has been an issue since the Pelicans selected him first overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Duke product has been limited to just 85 career games due to lower body injuries, which previously raised concerns about him managing his weight #ShowtymeOnPointSports #ZionWilliamson #Pelicans
