A number of players throughout the NBA either made the decision to opt out of returning to finish the season in Orlando, Florida, or were forced to not travel due to positive coronavirus tests.
All-Stars such as Bradley Beal, Victor Oladipo and Kyrie Irving will all be sitting out for various reasons, but arguably none affect a potential championship contender more than Los Angeles Lakers starting guard Avery Bradley choosing to not to participate due to health concerns for his son.
Bradley’s numbers may not have stood out, but he was an integral part of the Lakers’ rotation.
