A faction of NBA players is hesitant about restarting the season in Orlando, Florida as planned by the NBA, though the league is working toward a plan that would allow players to stay home without consequences, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

40 to 50 players, especially those on non-championship contender teams, expressed their concerns via conference call in the past 24 hours, though there has been no formal petitioning to the NBPA from any group wanting out of the 22-team resumption, according to the report.

As Wojnarowski also notes, players that will decide to skip the restart of the season in Orlando will not be paid for the missed games and could be replaced by a substitution player.
