Duke superstar Zion Williamson just suffered an apparent leg injury following a bizarre play in which his Nike shoe ruptured.
Here is the play:

Williamson left the game and was taken to the locker room. No official update has been given at this time.
There are signs that the injury is somewhat serious:
Zion Williamson's stepdad just came out from the locker room to bring his mom back.
Not a good sign.

Nolan Smith just came back to the bench from the locker room and shook his head when asked question from assistant Jon Scheyer. Just a guess — but don’t think we’ll be seeing Zion again tonight.

That the shoe blew out on National TV. That the shoe blew out for Duke-UNC. That the shoe blew out on Zion Williamson. Awful look for Nike.
