Career Overview

The Los Angeles Clippers picked Chandler as the second overall choice, but promptly traded him for Elton Brand, to the Chicago Bulls. During his rookie season, Tyson suffered from back issues, averaging only 6.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 19.6 minutes per game.

The Bulls hoped to team him with fellow high school standout Eddie Curry. He started 68 out of 75 games and had a better sophomore season, averaging 9.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 24.4 minutes per game.

When Chandler averaged 8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 27.4 minutes per game during the 2004–05 season in Chicago, he enjoyed his greatest year there and helped the Bulls to the playoffs. He agreed to an upgraded six-year deal worth over $63 million, but in July 2006, Tyson was sold to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for J.R. Smith and P.J. Brown.

In 197 regular season games, Chandler averaged 10 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks during his greatest years in New Orleans.

Tyson was traded to the Charlotte Bobcats in July 2009 in exchange for center Emeka Okafor, but injuries plagued his season. He nevertheless made it possible for the Bobcats to make their first-ever playoff appearance, but the Orlando Magic still swept Charlotte in the opening round.

The following July, the Dallas Mavericks acquired Matt Carroll, Eduardo Nájera, and Erick Dampier in exchange for Tyson and fellow center Alexis Ajinca. Tyson joins Tim Hardaway Jr., Nerlens Noel, Dwight Powell, and Max Kleber as stand-out players in the starting lineup.

In 2016, Malik Beasley signed a four-year rookie contract worth $7.8 million with the Denver Nuggets. The deal was initially guaranteed at $3.3 million at signing and was fully guaranteed overall, with Beasley earning $1.6 million in his first NBA season.

He would earn $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.8 million in 2018 with the Nuggets before being traded halfway through the 2019/20 season to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Beasley retained $1.6 million from the Nuggets for the year and earned $925,000 playing at Minnesota.

The following year, Beasley signed a new four-year deal with the Timberwolves worth $60 million, which increased his average annual salary to $15 million. He earned $13.6 million in 2020 and $14.4 million in 2021.

In mid-2022, he was traded to the Utah Jazz, where he spent just half a season earning $10.2 million, and then traded to the Lakers, where he earned an additional $5.2 million in the year.

Fines & Legal Issues

In September 2020, Maliik Beasley was involved in an altercation outside his home in Minnesota. A family had accidentally parked outside Beasley’s house while on a tour, and Malik approached them, allegedly pointing a rifle at the family. The police were called, and after conducting a search on his property, they found several firearms and marijuana.

Beasley was arrested for felony threats of violence and fifth-degree drug possession. He pleaded guilty, and while the drug charge was dropped, he still received a 120-day jail sentence. After his conviction, he was placed on probation and required to attend an anger management program.

The financial impact of the situation, aside from his legal fees and potential lost sponsors, was a 12-game NBA suspension without pay. League rules state that as long as the suspension doesn’t exceed 20 games, the player will lose 1/145 of their base salary per game missed. This equated to Beasley losing approximately $1.65 million in compensation that season.

On-Court Fines

On the court, Malik’s highest fine was $35,000 in 2022 for making inappropriate contact with Drew Eubanks during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He’s also received twenty-one $2,000 fines for technical fouls and ejections, totaling an additional $42,000.

In February 2024, he relisted the property for sale with an asking price of $2.695 million. It sold for $2.6 million two months later, likely earning Beasley a net profit between $200,000 and $300,000.

Net Worth History

We first researched Zion Williamson’s net worth in 2020. He was estimated to be worth $8 million back then, but that was when he only earned $9 million yearly. Since then, he’s gained an additional $68 million in salary and roughly $50-$60 million from endorsements.

In 2024, Zion Williamson’s net worth is estimated to be $18 Million.

High School Basketball

Zion Williamson started making a name for himself in high school, winning the Under Armour Elite 24 showcase dunk contest.

During his junior season, Williamson went viral with his highlight videos, and Drake even wore his jersey in an Instagram post. After surpassing 2,000 points in January 2017, Williamson appeared on the cover of Slam and received All-USA First Team Honors.

Williamson finished his high school career as South Carolina’s Mr. Basketball and the runner-up to Mr. Basketball USA. In a live interview on ESPN, Williamson committed to attending Duke University, playing his first game for them in November 2018.

Duke University

Zion Williamson started his collegiate career strong and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Week. Soon after, he broke the record for the most points recorded in a single game and was named ACC Freshman of the Week once more.

Unfortunately, in February 2019, Williamson was benched with a knee sprain after his shoe broke, causing him to slip. Following the incident, Nike’s stock dropped $1.1 billion, while Williamson earned Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors. He then appeared in the NCAA Tournament, joining Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis as the third freshman to earn 500 points, 50 steals, and 50 blocks in a season.

New Orleans Pelicans

After entering the 2019 NBA draft, the New Orleans Pelicans selected Zion Williamson with the first pick.

Unfortunately, Williamson tore the cartilage in his knee during the preseason, delaying his debut until January 2020. However, once he was on the court again, Williamson wasted no time making a name for himself and racking up points. In his first eight games, he scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games, the longest 20+ point streak by a rookie Pelican.

Soon after, he surpassed Carmelo Anthony as the first teenager to score at least 20 points in 10 consecutive games in NBA history. He became the first rookie since Michael Jordan to earn 16 20-point games within their first 20 contests.

Success & Injury

Following his rookie season, Zion Williamson tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the longest 20-point streak in his first two seasons. His streak eventually surpassed Wilt Chamberlin and Karl Malone’s streaks, tying him with Shaquille O’Neal’s record of 25.

While things were going well for the basketball star, during the 2021 off-season, he suffered a fracture in his foot and underwent surgery. Williamson missed the entirety of the 2021-2022 season, but in July 2022, he signed a five-year extension with the Pelicans.

He returned in October 2022 and earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors before being sidelined with a hamstring injury in January. Ultimately, he ended up sitting out the rest of the season and returning in November 2023. Although he returned strong, on April 16, 2024, he suffered another injury during a game against the L.A. Lakers.

In 2023, Williamson signed his five-year rookie extension with the Pelicans, valued at $197.2 million.

Thus far in his NBA career, Zion Williamson has already earned $77.7 million with an additional $157.7 million in guarantees remaining.

Endorsements

As the number one pick in the 2019 NBA draft, brands lined up to sign high-value endorsement deals with Zion Williamson. The year the Pelicans selected him, a bidding war took place to obtain Zion on a shoe endorsement contract, with Nike winning out over the competition.

Williamson signed a 7-year deal with Nike Jordan worth $75 million, averaging $10.8 million/year. It was recorded as the most valuable NBA shoe deal since Nike signed LeBron in 2003. Zion released his first signature shoe, the Jordan Zion 1, in April 2021, and he has since released two more.

In the same year he signed with Nike, it was reported that Williamson signed a multi-year deal with Gatorade, which is estimated to earn him a 7-figure sum annually. Thanks to his big brand deals with Nike and Gatorade, Forbes estimated Zion Williamson’s endorsement income to be $20 million in 2020.

Williamson has also worked with brands such as:

Bolt 24
Mountain Dew (Commercial with Zach LaVine)
NBA2K
Slam
Starry

Estimates of Zion’s annual endorsement income fell significantly to $12 million for 2023.
