Jaylen Brown believes the NBA might skip the remainder of the regular season and go straight to the playoffs.

According to the guard of the Boston Celtics, it is ‘understood’ the NBA would want to advance right to the playoffs.

“I think that is kind of, like, understood already, in a sense. I don’t want to jump the gun. But I think the playoffs is what makes the league most of its money, and I think if we all agree to come back and play in the playoffs, I think it can regenerate [the income] so that we’ll be able to have a pretty solid salary cap going into next year. So the playoffs are what’s important.

All NBA players, this is what we’re born to do, this is what we love to do. Of course we want to play. We just don’t want to play at the expense of other people’s health, at the expense of starting things up too early, and it not being a good situation,” Brown said, via Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe.
