“I want them to focus on not worrying about whether it’s a play-in tournament or group play,” Jenkins continued. “As long as we get a shot, that’s what we were playing for with the last month and a half of the season when the season got suspended. Even though we’re apart, we’re talking about staying together and just focus on what we can control. Whatever the Board of Governors, the players association, the league office finally make their decision, we’ll be ready to roll.”
