Zion Williamson Reportedly Has Weight Clause In New Contract
Report: Zion Williamson Weight Clause In New Contract Could Lose Guaranteed $$$
Zion Williamson's new contract is coming with some hefty demands -- the NBA star will reportedly have to maintain a certain weight and body fat percentage, or will risk losing some of his guaranteed money.
Williamson inked a 5-year extension worth up to $231 million to stay with the New Orleans Pelicans this off-season ... but there's a big catch.
Christian Clark of NOLA.com says some of that money could be yanked from his pockets if certain health stipulations aren't met.
The report states the 22-year-old will submit to weigh-ins throughout his contract to ensure the sum of his weight and body fat percentage stays below 295 ... and if he doesn't, he'll literally pay for it.
Williamson's weight has become an issue since going #1 overall to the Pels in 2019 ... and the former Duke star has only been able to play in 85 career games due to injury.
Williamson is currently training like a madman to get back to 100% in 2022-23 ... which also includes switching up his diet, according to reports.
Williamson is currently listed at 284 pounds ... but money talks, so expect to see him in amazing shape this season.
