Tomorrow's NBA Draft will be a big night for the New Orleans Pelicans, which is expected to follow up its blockbuster trade with the L.A. Lakers by selecting Duke University phenom Zion Williamson with the #1 overall pick.
And to celebrate, for one day only, in one location only, Popeyes is offering a massive meal it calls the "Wingspan Box" -- a 6'10" long box of boneless wings, biscuits, and French fries. If you're wondering "why 'wingspan?'" 6'10" is Williamson's wingspan. The limited-time, limited-location offer is only available at 621 Canal Street, tomorrow, June 20, the day of the NBA Draft.
