Maybe the NBA’s Return Won’t Be As Easy As It Seemed

Not to burst your bubble, but players are beginning to voice unease over restrictions and health protocols in the “campus environment” at Disney World

There are now those players that don't want to proceed with the restart because of having no audience. Having supporters cheering for their team really is a big factor.

They are under on a contract, they will have to participate as that is part of their job, they will only be excuse if they have a valid reason.
If they will not participate they will break the contract and they will be sued which might affect their future in the NBA.
We are talking of huge money here as per their contract, especially the star players so it's a big lost for the players as NBA can always find a player that would play for a certain team.

I have watched a video on youtube saying that if the player will not be punished if they don't want to play this time. Yes it is part of their job as a player and they are under a contract but I think the health of every player is more important right now than the contract. Players didn't want this to happen and no one want too but if I'm on their situation, I will not risk my life too unless there are very strict guidelines that will be implemented but I'm not in a 100% condition still.

True.
One good example is your kids as students in their respective schools.
Will you really let them go to school while you know there is no vaccine yet? I won't.

I know these players want to play ball but they need security too.
It is just one factor of what they are aiming for this season to start again.
There are others which had been discussed just above our posts.

Even if they are to breach the contract, it is not their fault. We can discuss this in court but yet players can still win it because of enough reasons to not play during a pandemic.
In the end, it will still be their decision. IMHO.
Their lives are more important, right?
