It's in the board decorum to provide context to links:

Here’s what Thursday is going to look like:

That was my concern. Given Wendell's situation, this could easily apply to him, which makes the title very click-baity.
I get the excitement about Zion (heck, I'm still trying to find a time to go see him play in the league!), but this board is still primarily focused on the current duke team, and as such, it seems reasonable to assume a post like this would be about a current rather than a former player. Normally a former player returning from injury in the league wouldn't warrant a stand-alone post to begin with, as we have a dukies in the NBA thread.

I thought it might be something a little more divine.

If you have questions about Michigan Basketball/Football, I'm your man!
Any chance this game gets an "upgrade" somehow to, I dunno, Fox Sports South or one of the ESPN Networks?
Can ESPN even show basketball on ESPN/ESPN2 on a Thursday night? I would think TNT would have some Thursday exclusivity in their agreement with the league.
Maybe just frequent live look-ins during TNT's coverage of the Celts/Bucks game during the same time slot (the Pels game is being covered on League Pass)?

Well, I for one am shickled titless by the news. Zion's been the most fun I've had watching a basketball game in a while and I'll be tuning in to a lot of Pelicans games just to watch him. I can't say that for any other recent NBA player save for play-off Lebron, Steph, and KD.
That's cool. We have a Dukies in the NBA thread for the substance. I was just confused how someone thought a "Zion's Baaaaccckkk ..." thread could be about Wendell Carter or Jesus (now I get it). At least now there's context for anyone else who stumbles in here late like I did.
