Zion Williamson Split From CAA Reveals Desire To Play For Knicks

by Cedric ‘BIG CED’ Thornton

The New Orleans Pelicans center recently split from the Creative Artists Agency after reportedly not being able to play for the team of his choice.

NBA player Zion Williamson was supposed to be the next superstar of the NBA, with an expected career that was supposed to rival that of a young LeBron James, when the New Orleans Pelicans drafted him. Yet, another injury has sidelined his promising career once again. Outside of his latest injury, word has come out that the center has also split with the sports agency he has been with since debuting in the NBA, and it’s being speculated that part of it is because of Williamson’s desire to play with the New York Knicks before being drafted by the Pelicans.

According to Clutch Sports, sources have revealed that the recent split from the Creative Artists Agency was partly because they were unable to get him on the team he allegedly wanted to play on, the Knicks. He reportedly made this known to the agency before the Pelicans selected him, and he anticipated it could happen. Although that didn’t take place, he felt that the agency could make a trade to the New York team, and several years later, as he is still playing for the Pelicans, his wish to play his home games at Madison Square Garden has not happened.

That is one of the two reasons Williamson has decided to leave CAA.
