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.
Is that a news youtube channel for sports? that's a good if there is no punishment regarding the disagreement of players whenever they have a match.
.To confirm it. I found this article:

The league is reportedly not requiring its players to participate in the season restart if they are uncomfortable doing so. Players who voluntarily sit out would lose a portion of their salaries, but would otherwise face no consequences.

And it is understandable considering the situation they have right now in their country. Loads of confirmed cases, and an on-going protest against racism in some other state. Well, some players like Malcolm Brogdon, and Jaylen Brown, you name it have found participating in the protest.

Player voices was not heard. The voting of the July tip-off just came from NBA management without regards to what the players feel.
It was only right for the NBA management to craft the format first before talking to the player's association. If I read the NBPA's statement correctly, they all approved the resumption but they have issues with its implementation. Player voices was not heard. The voting of the July tip-off just came from NBA management without regards to what the players feel.
Am not sure, and I don't quite follow. Is this about Kyrie's concern? Or was it a different story? (Please enlighten me with this one
)
