The words not only captured the brutal honesty from an NBA superstar. They also reflected what other players might feel about resuming the NBA season.
“If we come back and they're just like, 'We're adding a few games to finish the regular season,' and they're throwing us out there for meaningless games and we don't have a true opportunity to get into the playoffs,” Portland’s Damian Lillard told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday, “I'm going to be with my team because I'm a part of the team. But I'm not going to be participating.”
That sentiment captures the challenge the NBA faces in figuring out the perfect format to resume the season.
