Leaks about a rumored NBA return have been trickling out all week, some that could extend the New Orleans Pelicans‘ season and some that would end it.
The NBA has discussed bringing back just the 16 playoff teams, which would leave the Pelicans outside looking in. There have also been rumors about finishing a 70-game season, or having a play-in tournament, both of which would offer the Pelicans a potential route to the playoffs.
The most recent rumor came from the Woj Bomber himself, Adrian Wojnarowski, who said that the latest buzz is that the NBA could do a playoff “plus” that would include the 16 playoff teams plus the four bubble teams in the Western Conference.
