SALT LAKE CITY — The National Basketball Players Association sent a manual to every player which includes a six-phase outline of what life will be like inside the Orlando bubble, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The manual reportedly opens by noting that players who do not participate in the NBA’s 2019-20 season restart will not be disciplined.
“It is critical that every player understand that he has the right to choose not to return to play,” it reads. “Any player who exercises this right will not be disciplined. To respect the decision of those who do return to play, it has been agreed that any player who chooses not to participate will have his compensation reduced by 1/92.
