Duke superstar Zion Williamson went down hard on Wednesday night with an injury that could end his season. Twitter had more than a few reactions to the incident.

POTUS weighs in

Former President Barack Obama made sure the world knows what he thinks about Zion.

Zion Williamson seems like an outstanding young man as well as an outstanding basketball player. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

The reason the players should go pro

Former player Jay Williams makes Williamson's case for going pro and not going to college.

This Zion Williamson injury is exactly why players should be able to go directly to the @nba from high school. The league needs to change this rule. PERIOD @GetUpESPN @espn

He's not coming back

This feels like the Twitter user was in the room when this conversation happened.

Coach K: “You’re coming back and risking your draft status to play for free and help me get my bonuses, right?”

National Parks need love too

Former NBA player Carlos Boozer tweeted out the wrong Zion. Or maybe he just felt it was the right time to show his love for national parks.

Duke is going to be fine

Rothstein points out that Duke is going to be able to exist even without Zion Williamson.

Zion Williamson is the best player in college basketball, but remember this: Duke still has two Top-5 picks and a stud PG without him. No need to throw the Blue Devils a bake sale.
