Despite the unprecedented layoff of four-plus months just before the playoffs, Fertitta believes there will be no asterisk on the NBA’s 2020 champion. In speaking to team broadcaster Matt Thomas, he said: There is nothing gimmicky, because the teams that are going to be in the playoffs are the teams that were going to be in the playoffs [before the hiatus]. We’re doing four out of seven [series], and there’s nothing gimmicky about it.
