Zion Williamson, family being sued for failing to pay back $1.8 million in loans

Zion Williamson and his mother and stepfather are being sued for failing to pay $1.8 million in loans to a California-based tech company.

In the lawsuit, Ankr PBC said that it had loaned the New Orleans Pelicans star's family $2 million in September 2021 and had been expecting the money back by last August.

The company — which specializes in blockchain-related technologies used in finance and data storage — states in the lawsuit that it had hoped Williamson could serve as a spokesperson.
