Lakers guard Avery Bradley says he will opt out of NBA's Disney World reboot

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley, a leading voice in player faction opposing the NBA’s reboot, has opted out of rejoining the team in Disney World for the rest of the season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

While Bradley was reportedly in agreement with Kyrie Irving that the NBA’s reboot would take away from the players’ fight against racial injustice, ESPN reports that the main factor of Bradley’s decision is the wellbeing of his oldest child.

Bradley’s 6-year-old son Liam reportedly has a history of respiratory illness and would be unlikely to be cleared to enter the NBA bubble.
