Zion Williamson splits from agency as tumultuous season continues
Uncertainty has followed Zion Williamson off the court.
The polarizing Pelicans star has split with the powerful Creative Arts Agency, according to The Athletic.
CAA had represented the former No. 1 overall pick since 2019.
Williamson’s contract situation is “in doubt” due to his injury history, according to ESPN.
He is in the second season of a five-year, $197 million contract.
But he’s played just six games this year and has been sidelined since Nov. 6 with a hamstring injury.
Williamson has undergone multiple treatments to his hamstring but is not close to a return, the outlet reported.
He only played 29 games last year, triggering a clause in his contract that the remaining three seasons on his deal are now not guaranteed.
Williamson has surpassed 30 games played just twice in his career so far.
CAA represents some of the best players across sports.
In the NBA, it represents Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, Paul George, Donovan Mitchell and plenty more.
