Wednesday night's showdown between No. 1 Duke and No. 8 North Carolina got off to a very unfortunate start as freshman sensation Zion Williamson suffered an apparent leg injury in the opening minute.

On Duke’s very first possession, Williamson attempted to plant his foot and get into the lane, but the 6-foot-7, 285-pounder blew out his shoe in the process, causing him to fall awkwardly to the ground.

Williamson limped over to the Duke bench after the play was stopped and was able to put some weight on the leg, but he was quickly escorted back to the locker room and didn't return to the court.

With Williamson's injury coming, largely, from his shoe exploding causing him to slip, there has been plenty of conversation as to what that could mean for not only Nike's stock but the company's chances of signing the Duke men's basketball star to an endorsement deal once he, likely, turns pro at the end of his freshman campaign in Durham.

If Nike was the odds on favorite to sign Williamson before last night's incident, they no longer are now according to at least one oddsmaker as BetOnline released these odds on Thursday.
