CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Zion Williamson won his first ACC tournament championship with the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday night, but just three and a half weeks earlier it was one of Williamson's lowest points.
Williamson suffered a grade one knee sprain on Feb. 20th during Duke's game against Carolina inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Williamson said that was a game he had waited a long time to play and felt disappointed not to get the opportunity. He said that night it was his mother who comforted him and told him everything happens for a reason.
Williamson found his mother in the crowd after the ACC tournament championship, to thank her for sticking by his side no matter what.
