Why did he even return from the family emergency?
They had the perfect disguise to sit him for the rest of the bubble

He did back in March 3rd/4th. Play 67 minutes in total. Pelicans are just soft tanking. What they don't realize this hurt's Zion image and the Pelicans "New" culture. The only thing different about this this culture is just rearranging the farm lands for a farm team.Does he normally play back to backs? If not, then this isn't news
As a fan I respect your opinion. But I personally think they are smart to be cautious given the situation. They know they aren't playing for a championship. The first priority should be to make it out the bubble without an injury. Most of the people the people complaining about this don't want to see Zion play, they want to see him get hurt so they can say I told you so...He did back in March 3rd/4th. Play 67 minutes in total.

I been a fan of this team all my life, but I've never seen anything ridiculous like this. Even in the AD era, he may take night off for stupid things or call it an early night for a hard fall. Yet, management being this strict on minutes is ludicrous.
Dude is 19... just had a 4-5 month layoff and still need rest
fukk you resting for, get your ass on the court
after they’re eliminated, he’s gonna have a bunch of weeks to rest
I know Adam silver feels disgusted

Why did the pelicans come to the bubble?
I don't know brehHe don't need to play for 30 minutes. Yet, he needs to play some minutes and get experience. Being injured is just part of the game. He isn't getting better by being coddle.
Meaningful minutes in meaningful games might sound useless but it helps a young team growexactly, playoff experience is great for a young team
