Derrick Favors

PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Understanding both side's perspective when it comes to resuming play, Derrick Favors said he will "probably" play for the Pelicans in Orlando.

Favors' feels it is largely a personal decision on whether players decide to return, and he also believes there will be opportunities in the bubble to address societal issues while also playing basketball. COVID-19 risks are weighing on him more than anything. With Zion Williamson revving up his play before the stoppage in activity, Favors was relegated to a minor role on offense, making him a late-round value in standard leagues. He'll help in rebounds and blocks, but his days of double-doubles are behind him for this season.
