Zion Williamson’s Multimillion Dollar Insurance Policy

Zion Williamson — college basketball player for the Duke Blue Devils and considered one of the top picks for this year’s NBA Draft — recently suffered a knee injury, sparking questions about whether the rising basketball star has suitable insurance. Williamson recently suffered a knee injury in a game against North Carolina after one of his shoes fell apart. Duke University later issued a statement saying Williamson’s status is day-to-day. On Twitter, sports business analyst Darren Rovell confirmed with sources close to the matter that Williamson has $8 million in loss-of-value insurance, written by ISI. However, to start collecting on the payout, Williamson “would have to slip past the 16th pick in this year’s draft, which isn’t happening.”
