Report: NBA Not Requiring Players to Finish Season, No Discipline for Staying Home

As the NBA continues its preparations to resume the season in Orlando, the league and the National Basketball Players Association are still working out details on a finalized plan.

Among those details, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, is a provision that would not require players to participate in the restart. Players would not be subject to discipline for choosing to stay at home, though they would lose a portion of salary for any games missed.

Among the issues to be agreed upon, per Wojnarowski, are health impacts of COVID-19, family concerns and social justice.
