New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson has been granted a full stay in a lawsuit put forth by Gina Ford of Prime Sports Marketing.

The Florida Third District Court of Appeal granted the stay, meaning legal proceedings will move to Williamson's home state of North Carolina.

Zion had initially been granted a temporary stay. But the full stay was granted in part due to Williamson's own suit against Prime Sports (per Jack Baer of Yahoo Sports):

The actual lawsuit that will now be dealt with is Williamson’s claim that Ford violated North Carolina laws, including the North Carolina’s Uniform Athlete Agent Act, with the contract she had him sign while at Duke.

Williamson’s attorneys contend that the contract should be voided because Ford failed to include a notice that he would lose his NCAA eligibility in bold, capital letters if he signed with her company, as required by North Carolina law. They have also claimed Ford is not certified by the NBA Players Association or considered a registered agent in either North Carolina or Florida, and that she fraudulently exaggerated her past experience while pursuing Williamson as a client when he was still at Duke.

Williamson had initially signed with Prime Sports. But he sought to have the contract voided, ultimately signing with Creative Artists Agency.

Ford filed a countersuit in response, alleging Williamson received impermissible benefits while still at Duke University.

The full scope of the respective lawsuits remains to be seen. But for now, the courts will adjudicate Zion Williamson's lawsuit against Ford and Prime Sports.
