RICHMOND, Va. — A federal appeals court has upheld a 2021 ruling that NBA star Zion Williamson's contract with a marketing agent was void because the agent was not licensed in North Carolina when the two entered an agreement in 2019. Gina Ford had sought $100 million from Williamson, claiming the former Duke star breached their contract.
