Morning sports update: Matthew Slater reportedly considered opting out of season but will play in 2020

The NBA returns today, with the Jazz vs. the Pelicans at 6:30 p.m., followed by Lakers vs. the Clippers at 9 p.m. The league is playing from inside its Disney World bubble.

The Red Sox rallied to defeat the Mets on Wednesday, 6-5. The win snaps the team’s four-game losing streak.

Matthew Slater will not opt out: After several Patriots players reportedly decided to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to the dangers posed by the coronavirus pandemic, the possibility remains that other players might follow suit.

But in one case, New England will have a familiar face at training camp.
