NBA players have two days remaining to notify their teams if they do not wish to participate in the league’s resumption of the 2019-20 season starting next month. News broke this morning that Davis Bertans has opted out of making the trip to Orlando.
Adrian Wojnarowski, an NBA Insider for ESPN, reported early on Monday via Twitter that the Washington Wizards power forward is going to bypass the unprecedented bubble experiment.
No one should take offense with Bertans’ decision for a host of reasons. As Wojnarowksi reported, Bertans has previously suffered two ACL injuries in his career, and the feeling across the league is that the risk for injury will be elevated in Orlando.
