Despite COVID Concerns, Avery Bradley Ready To Play For The Heat

MIAMI (AP) — Avery Bradley still has serious concerns about the coronavirus, particularly because one of his children has struggled with respiratory illnesses.

Those concerns kept him from the NBA’s restart bubble. They won’t keep him from this season.

Bradley has finalized his new contract with the Miami Heat — the team he would have faced off against in the NBA Finals had he gone to the bubble at Walt Disney World this summer with his previous team, the Los Angeles Lakers. And when the Heat opens camp next week in advance of the Dec. 22 start of the regular season, Bradley said he’ll be ready.
