Duke freshman Zion Williamson left just 33 seconds into Wednesday's highly anticipated matchup with North Carolina with a knee injury and was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
The 18-year-old's left foot slid on the hardwood as he was trying to plant, causing his Nike shoe to fall apart and right leg to give out under him.
