As the NBA and NBPA are finalizing terms on a return-to-play plan Wednesday, there’s a faction of players discussing whether restarting the season in the Orlando bubble is a good idea, sources said.
Several dozen players participated in a conference call in the past 24 hours to discuss it, sources said.
The NBA and NBPA are expected to agree on a provision that wouldn’t require players to restart the season, nor subject them to discipline for staying home, sources said. The players would lose a portion of salary for those games missed.
The NBA and NBPA are nearing a final agreement on parameters of a return-to-play plan, sources said. Some players with hesitation have been discussing a number of issues, including family concerns, coronavirus risks, social justice and more.
