NBA Superstar Won’t Play When Season Returns If Team Can’t Make 2020 Playoffs
May 26, 2020
The NBA is reportedly planning to resume the season in July. That doesn’t necessarily mean every superstar expects to get back on the court.
The league is weighing its options regarding a return during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s all but certain that either a handful of regular-season games will be played or the NBA will go right into the playoffs.
What does that mean for players that are on teams outside of the current playoff picture? Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard won’t have any motivation to play if his team can’t reach the postseason.
