\n Carmelo Anthony wasn\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n

The Blazers forward is not the only NBA player hesitant about the 22-team restart in Orlando at the end of July as the novel coronavirus pandemic remains a threat. According to Yahoo Sports, there are a \u201csignificant number\u201d of players unsure about it and \u201cdisapp<\/a>ointed\u201d they weren\u2019t given the opportunity to vote.<\/p>\n

Last week, the NBA Players\u2019 Association executive committee and the board of representatives approved the league\u2019s plan to return at Disney\u2019s ESPN Wide World of Sports, but apparently that wasn\u2019t truly representative of the entire league. Players have expressed displeasure that their voices weren\u2019t heard. Certain players, speaking to Yahoo Sports on condition of anonymity, believe that it would be sending a bad message for a league made up of mostly black men to be kept in a bubble to serve as entertainment as a time when racial injustice and police brutality is weighing on everyone\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat message are we sending by agreeing to this during this time?\u201d a black player told Yahoo Sports. \u201cWe\u2019re out here marching and protesting, and yet we all leave our families in these scary times and gather to perform at a place where the owners won\u2019t be at? What type of sense does that make? We\u2019ll be going backwards. That place isn\u2019t that magical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yahoo reported there are some players who haven\u2019t expressed their opposition to the plan because the league\u2019s superstars want to play as long as they feel comfortable with the safety measures in place. It is up to each player if he wants to play, but they will only get paid if they compete.<\/p>\n

Ironically, shortly after the story was published, the NBA\u2019s restart schedule was leaked to The Athletic. They included the seeding game<\/a>s (July 30-Aug. 14), play-in tournaments if needed (Aug. 15-16), start of playoffs (Aug. 17), when family\/guests can arrive (Aug. 30), conference semifinals (Aug. 31-Sept. 13), conference finals (Sept. 15-Sept. 28), and NBA Finals (Sept. 30-Oct. 10).\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
