The New Orleans Pelicans didn’t just win the rights to Zion when the lottery balls bounced their way in May of 2019, they may also be gifted a playoff spot.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst dropped a bomb this morning on the latest edition of The Hoop Collective that will have jaw-dropping implications for fans.
It appears the NBA may be scrapping the idea of playing meaningless regular season games and would push the Pelicans right into a Group Stage style first round if it is selected.
“I’ll tell you one thing: that scenario gets Zion Williamson in,” added Windhorst.
