“#LeBron James could skip start of NBA season, teammate says<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Danny Green, a member of the Lakers championship team, believes LeBron James will decline to play the start of the season if the NBA goes ahead with discussions regarding a Dec. 22 season opener.<\/p>\n

The Lakers conquered Miami for the NBA title in a six-game<\/a> series<\/a> in the Orlando bubble on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cDec. 22 is not on my mind,\u2019\u2019 Green said on The Ringer\u2019s basketball podcast<\/a>. \u201cI think most guys, if you say they\u2019re starting in December, I think they\u2019re like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to be there.\u2019 Because we have a lot of vets on our team. It\u2019s not like we have young guys and rookies. We have three or four young guys and rookies if we\u2019re fortunate to bring the same team back.\u201d<\/p>\n

James won his fourth title in his 10th NBA Finals app<\/a>earance at age 35.<\/p>\n

\u201cBron\u2019s been in the Finals 10 years out of his 17 years, which is unbelievable mentally,\u2019\u2019 said Green, who hails from Long Island. \u201cIt\u2019s draining to do that. To have that quick a restart, I wouldn\u2019t expect to see him there. I wouldn\u2019t expect to see him probably the first month of the season. He\u2019d probably work out with us but I don\u2019t expect guys to want to be there or show up willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioner Adam Silver had said earlier this month he expected the season opener in January at the earliest. However, at last week\u2019s Board of Governors meeting, serious talks centered on a Dec. 22 start to the 2020-21 campaign.<\/p>\n

Green said he realizes some other teams who haven\u2019t played in a while would want to play sooner than later, but not the Lakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a possibility because the league really wants those Christmas games,\u2019\u2019 Green said. \u201cBut in my mind it\u2019s highly unlikely.\u201d<\/p>\n

One scenario is for games to be played in home arenas without spectators at the season\u2019s outset because of the COVID-19 spike. But Green said he has heard other ideas floated such as \u201cmultiple bubble situations or four bubbles.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
