Zion Williamson's new contract comes with heavy demands: the NBA star will apparently have to maintain a certain weight and body fat percentage, or risk losing some of his guaranteed money.

Williamson signed a 5-year extension worth up to $231 million to stay with the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason...but there's a big catch.

NOLA.com's Christian Clark says some of that money could be taken out of his pocket if certain health conditions aren't met.

The report states that the 22-year-old will undergo weigh-ins throughout his contract to ensure that the sum of his weight and body fat percentage remains below 295...and will he doesn't, he will literally pay for it.

Williamson's weight has become an issue since becoming No. 1 overall for the Pels in 2019...and the former Duke star has only been able to play 85 career games due to 'a wound.

Williamson is currently training like crazy to get back to 100% in 2022-23...which also means changing his diet, according to reports.

Williamson currently weighs 284lbs...but money talks, so expect to see him in incredible form this season.
