While the NBA’s official return is still over a month away, players have until Wednesday to inform their teams/the NBA of whether they plan to participate in the restart in Orlando. News of player opt-outs have already begun, with the Wizards Davis Bertans (health concerns) and the Blazers Trevor Ariza (family situation) deciding they would not join their respective teams in Orlando when teams begin their departures on July 7th.
Add Avery Bradley to that list. He has informed the Lakers he will not be traveling to the “bubble” in Orlando with his team:
The health of Bradley’s son was not a known factor before tonight’s report, but it’s a totally understandable decision and one that have the utmost respect for.
