NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Zion Williamson agent Austin Brown says the star forward has agreed to a five-year extension with the New Orleans Pelicans worth $193 million. Brown tells The Associated Press that the deal could be worth up to $231 million. The agreement sets the stage for the 2019 top overall draft choice out of Duke to give an All-Star caliber boost to a squad that recently made the playoffs without him. ESPN first reported the agreement that comes despite Williamson missing all of last season with a foot injury. But the 6-foot-6, 280-pound Williamson was an All-Star two seasons ago when he averaged 27 points. The Pelicans have not announced the extension, which under league rules can’t be signed until July 6.
