Zion Williamson has spent the offseason in headlines for off-the-court reasons.
On Thursday, it continued for the 23-year-old.
According to the Associated Press, the New Orleans Pelicans star and his family have been hit with a $1.8 million lawsuit for failing to pay back most of a $2 million loan from September 2021.
The loan was from a California-based tech company specializing in finance and data storage.
ESPN.com obtained the lawsuit, saying Williamson’s stepfather and business manager, Lee Anderson, asked for a $150,000 payment up front to start the potential business relationship.
“Based on Williamson’s statements to Ankr, Ankr reasonably believed that Anderson possessed the authority to negotiate business arrangements for Williamson.
“Anderson represented that the loan was urgently needed, as the family had taken on expensive investments including the purchase of certain real estate in New Orleans and could not meet their obligations due to the temporary suspension of payments from Williamson’s sponsorship deals resulting from an injury.”
