Zion agrees to five-year extension with Pelicans

Zion Williamson, who missed the past NBA season due to a broken right foot, has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension with the New Orleans Pelicans, ESPN reported on July 2.

Williamson's deal is worth $193 million but has escalator clause incentives that could bring the power forward as much as $231 million.
