Report: Portland forward Trevor Ariza to sit out NBA’s Orlando restart amid custody case

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza has decided not to participate when the NBA resumes its season next month at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Ariza, per the report, is instead choosing to commit to a one-month visitation window with his 12-year-old son.

Sources: Ariza has been involved in a custody case over his 12-year old son, and mother’s choice of granting a court-ordered one month visitation period during league’s quarantine of teams in Orlando left Ariza to choose those parenting responsibilities over competing in restart.
