Zion Williamson and his mother and stepfather are being sued for failing to pay $1.8 million in loans to a California-based tech company.

In the lawsuit, Ankr PBC said that it had loaned the New Orleans Pelicans star's family $2 million in September 2021 and had been expecting the money back by last August.

The company — which specializes in blockchain-related technologies used in finance and data storage — states in the lawsuit that it had hoped Williamson could serve as a spokesperson.

"Based on Williamson’s statements to Ankr, Ankr reasonably believed that Williamson's stepfather, Lee Anderson, possessed the authority to negotiate business arrangements for Williamson," the lawsuit stated.

The lawsuit states that Ankr also has helped Williamson with community events and identified a physical trainer and a personal chef for the player.

Ankr also alleges that Anderson told the company that "his family would suffer financial hardship, and Williamson would not enter into a business relationship with Ankr," if the loan were not made immediately. The lawsuit adds to the list of controversies Williamson has been involved with this offseason. 

Last April, Ankr and Anderson entered into a forbearance agreement in which the company agreed not to sue if it were to receive repayment of $500,000 by April 25 and the remainder by July 6, according to the lawsuit.

Ankr recieved $500,000 on time, but about $300,000 of that covered interest, and the remaining $1.8 million has not been repaid, the lawsuit said.

Williamson has been the subject of a social media controversy with an ex-porn star who threatened to release sex tapes of the two shortly after she seemingly confessed her love for him.

He also recently spoke out about his poor dieting habits, which have contributed to him being off the floor quite often in his career.

He also recently posted audio of The Notorious B.I.G's "Suicidal Thoughts," leading fans to be concerned for his well-being.

The 6-foot-6, 284-pound Pelicans forward has been limited to 114 regular-season appearances out of a possible 308 games in his four years in the league. A foot injury sidelined Williamson for the entire 2021-22 season. 

In 29 games last year, he averaged 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4.6 assists. In his career, he's put up 25.8 points, 7 boards and 3.6 assists per contest.

FIRST ON FOX: A GOP senator is calling for a disciplinary inquiry into Hunter Biden’s legal team after a judge accused one lawyer of lying about her identity to court officials.

"I’ve heard from countless Americans who are concerned our justice system is being weaponized against President Biden’s political opponents while his son gets preferential treatment," Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"There needs to be accountability for any misconduct or favoritism, including Hunter Biden’s own legal team. Faith in our justice system has been gravely damaged by the Biden administration’s mishandling of recent cases and restoring its integrity is essential."

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika released an order this week threatening sanctions against Hunter Biden’s lawyers after accusing Latham & Watkins lawyer Jessica Bengels of having "misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the Clerk's Office" to remove a key document from the ongoing criminal tax case involving President Biden’s son.

Bengels called the clerk’s office "pretending" to be associated with lawyers linked to the House Republican Ways & Means Committee, which has also been investigating Hunter Biden, the order said. Hunter Biden’s legal team said it was "an unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication between a staff member at our firm and employees of the Court."

Ricketts called on courts in both New York and Washington, D.C., where Hunter Biden’s lawyers are licensed to practice, to launch an ethics investigation into Bengels and lead lawyer Christopher Clark.

CRITICS DOUBT WHITE HOUSE CLAIM THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WON'T PARDON HUNTER: 'SURE, SURE...'

"I write to you regarding the apparent unethical conduct of members of the New York State Bar and the District of Columbia Bar. As you know, the cornerstone of the legal profession is ethics. All legal professionals, lawyers and non-lawyers alike, are expected to maintain strict standards for the protection of colleagues, clients, and the court," Ricketts wrote in a letter sent Friday.

"I am asking both the New York Departmental Disciplinary Committee for the First Department and the District of Columbia’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel to take swift action to examine the actions of attorneys Christopher Clark and Jessica L. Bengels."

The letter came after a plea agreement between Hunter Biden and U.S. attorneys fell apart this week.

"While the exact details of this matter are uncertain, it appears an ethical line was crossed," Ricketts said of the misrepresentation accusations. "Regardless of whether or not it was Ms. Bengels or another staff member at Latham & Watkins who called the clerk, the circumstances surrounding the incident demand an investigation.

"Furthermore, it was the responsibility of Biden’s lead lawyer, Christopher Clark, to ensure his team conducted themselves in a manner consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct. It is the responsibility of courts, legislatures, and state bars to ensure that members of the profession adhere to the Rules of Professional Conduct."

"Therefore, I ask both the New York Departmental Disciplinary Committee for the First Department and the District of Columbia’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel to open investigations into the conduct of both Christopher Clark and Jessica Bengels."
