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.
From what I found, the league would reduced their salaries

.
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.
It's good that this isn't compulsory but I'm sure the spirit of players that wants to play again is always there. Those that have enough savings can easily sit at their homes and watch their team compete.
I'd rather choose health but everyone doesn't have the same situation.
