“Recent filings in Bowen vs. Adidas, et al., Case No. 18-CV3118, pending in the United States District Court, District of South Carolina, have revealed new evidence that, prior to his enrollment at Duke University, Williamson and/or his family received improper monies and/or improper benefits from an Adidas representative named Chris Rivers,” states the filing. “These discovery documents identify a series of payments made between November of 2016 through September of 2017 by Chris Rivers to Zion Williamson’s stepfather Lee Anderson on Zion Williamson’s behalf.”
The motion attaches responses to interrogatories in the referenced case as an exhibit. Of note, the response to Interrogatory 7 lists a number of “potential transfers” from Rivers to Anderson, beginning on November 14, 2016 through September 12, 2017, as well as “other potential transfers that may have occurred,” including a transfer of $1,000 that Rivers may have made to the Williamson family. In the response, Adidas claims that it “does not know the specific purpose of these transfers.”
