Zion Williamson threw down a massive dunk Thursday night during Duke’s big 84-72 win over Syracuse in the ACC tournament.
The freshman phenom missed several weeks with a sprained knee, and some wondered if he’d ever play another second of college basketball. Well, for those wondering how healthy he was, you don’t need to wonder anymore. (RELATED: Duke Star

Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and say he’s just fine. You can’t pull off a play like that if you have a bum knee.
You just can’t. This also wasn’t the only big dunk of the night for the likely first overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft.
He threw down a lob that also shook the crowd.

I know that I said people should be extremely hesitant to take Duke in the tournament if they didn’t have Zion.
Well, he’s back and looking great. If they burn through the ACC tournament, then it might be time to give them a hell of a look in the big dance. (RELATED: Lawrence, Kansas Named Best College Basketball City In America)
