Report: Some NBA players think resuming season is a bad idea as league nears final plan to resume play

SALT LAKE CITY — As the NBA and National Basketball Players Association worked on Wednesday to finalize a plan to resume play, including and extensive health and safety plan, not everyone in the league feels safe enough to join the Orlando bubble, according to reports.

In a string of tweets on Wednesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski outlined conversations that were taking place over the last couple of days including a large group of ‘several dozen’ players who believe resuming play in Orlando is a bad idea.

According to Wojnarowski, because of the dissenting views, the NBA and NBPA are likely to agree on a provision in which players would not be required to join their respective teams for the restart of the season.
