Duke basketball freshman phenom Zion Williamson has not left the bench after being poked in the eye late in the first half of the top-ranked Blue Devils' game at No. 13 Florida State on Saturday.

Williamson, a 6-foot-7, 285-pound forward from Spartanburg, South Carolina, notched six points on 3-of-6 shooting and pulled in five rebounds before heading for the bench after the injury.

From memes to claims that Williamson isn't the best player on Duke's roster, fans took to Twitter to voice their reactions to the injury.

Zion Williamson hasn't played in the second half (yet) against Florida State after he got poked in the eye just before halftime.

@DukeBetter
We gonna send Zion Williamson into the game as a

R.J Barrett is going nuts right now in Tallahassee with Zion Williamson out. He has 27 points with 8:38 left in the game. #Duke #DukevsFSU

@JacobRude
This is probably the best games RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish have played at Duke. Badly needed sans Zion

@KingOfBballNews
Let's make this very CLEAR RJ Barrett is the best (draft eligible) pro prospect in the country, and has been for awhile. Yes Zion is going to be the #1 pick because tickets matter.
