SACRAMENTO – Under normal circumstances, the importance of Wednesday’s New Orleans-Sacramento game to the Western Conference playoff chase would be at the forefront of discussion, but the coronavirus and its potential impact dominated conversation, both before and after morning shootaround at Golden 1 Center. Just prior to Alvin Gentry, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram being made available to the media – all later sat at a league-mandated distance from camera people and writers – ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Golden State Warriors are planning to hold upcoming home games without fans. Chase Center is only an hour-plus drive from Sacramento, California’s capital.
