The NBA is reportedly working to "make sure" rookie sensation Zion Williamson and his New Orleans Pelicans are able to participate in the 2019-20 postseason should the campaign resume amid the coronavirus pandemic.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Friday on Get Up:
"One of the things I've been hearing as I've talked to people in the league is, the league is gonna set up this playoff plan to make sure Zion Williamson is involved. ... Paranoia is at the top of the list with anything in the NBA. ... They're always paranoid about everything—'the league is screwing me, and they're helping that guy.' In this case, there's a number of different reasons why the league would want to have 20 or 24 teams, a number of different reasons to get extra games. But most of those scenarios include making sure, having Zion Williamson in the postseason."

Streak intact.
Should the Pels get that *Championship, IDGAF, I’m going all in on it. Pels could sell a shirt that replaces the basketball on the Larry O trophy with a golden *, and I’d buy two of em.

Just imagine Zion with 4 months for his knee to heal. He said that that he didn't have his full athleticism back yet and you could tell. Looking back at the preseason he had a little extra to his dunks.

Imagine we come back full strength and play the Lakers and upset them with Zion dominating. How glorious

Do we still get a lottery pick?

The lottery teams are angling to get the “tournament teams” kicked out of the lottery so they can get their ping pong balls.

Higher point differential than both Memphis and Portland. Swept both of them. Have played the toughest schedule, had easiest remaining.schedule with Memphis having the toughest. Memphis would’ve been favored in AT MOST four of their remaining games. But a pandemic happened so it would be fair to hand them the playoffs even though this was going to be 82 games. Pels deserve a chance and are better than Memphis, Go fricking cry about it.

Why does this come off as so petty coming from the mouthpiece of the most protected and privileged superstar in the league?
I don’t think any team wants to face the Pels, & those players are probably letting guys like Windy know about it.

Windy is spreading this shite because LeBron, AD and the Lakers are scared shitless in all honesty. They want Memphis cause they know matchup-wise, it is an easy out.
