A freak injury to Duke’s star player Zion Williamson during Wednesday night’s game could be a product-liability risk for Nike, Inc., according to a report. Williamson, 18, was dribbling when his Nike shoe appeared to burst open, causing his knee to twist and his right foot to push through the sneaker. "This would be a classic product-liability case if Mr. Williamson suffered any serious injury and was inclined to bring one," Paul Edelstein, a lawyer at Edelstein Faegenburg & Brown, told Bloomberg. Representatives from Nike met with Duke officials on Thursday to assess the role its product had played in Williamson's injury, The News & Observer reported.
