Report: NBA won't require players to return as some question decision to restart season in Orlando

It seems not everyone’s on board with the NBA’s decision to restart the season at Disney World.

As the league makes plans to start a 22-team “bubble” in Florida to finish the 2019-20 season and crown a champion, some players are reportedly hesitant about the idea.

A “faction” of players gathered on a conference call in the last 24 hours to discuss whether the Orlando bubble is a good idea, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports. The discussion occurred amid the backdrop of the NBA and NBPA meeting to finalize the details of the restart plan that’s largely already been agreed upon.
