Miami Heat big man Meyers Leonard told ESPN's Arda Ocal that he wants to see the NBA hold five more regular-season games once the league's COVID-19 hiatus ends before jumping into the postseason.

"That's ultimately what everyone wants to see," Leonard said of the postseason. "That's why players play, they play for a championship. ... And so, I would think we would need at least five games or so to get our legs underneath us and then, boom, right into the playoffs and figure out who's the champ.
