Nets forward Wilson Chandler has informed the Nets that he is opting out of the NBA's restart in Orlando, Chandler told ESPN.
"As difficult as it will be to not be with my teammates, the health and well-being of my family has to come first,” Wilson told ESPN's Malika Andrews. “Thank you to the Nets organization for understanding and supporting me in this decision, and I will be watching and rooting for our team in Orlando.”
Chandler, 33, signed a one-year deal with the Nets last July. He was suspended for the first 25 games of the 2019-20 season after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug and has appeared in just 35 games this season.
