Free-agent shooting guard J.R. Smith is a leading candidate to replace Avery Bradley on the Lakers' roster when the league resumes play, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
News of Smith's potential arrival follows a report from ESPN which said Bradley has decided to opt-out of playing the NBA's July restart, citing family concerns.
"As committed to my Lakers teammates and the organization as I am, I ultimately play basketball for my family. And so, at a time like this, I can't imagine making any decision that might put my family's health and well-being at even the slightest risk," Bradley told ESPN.
