Adam Silver said ( about Adam Silver ) : “It is critical that every player understand that he has the right to choose not to return to play.

To respect the decision of those who do return to play, it has been agreed that any player who chooses not to participate will have his compensation reduced by 1/92.6 for each game missed up to a cap of 14 games even his team plays more than 14 games in Orlando. There will be no other reductions of pay assessed (e.g., fines for missed practices) for a player’s decision not to return to play. Any player that wishes to exercise this right should notify his team of this election by June 24. Commissioner Adam Silver said on June 15 players won’t be considered in breach of contract if they choose not to play for any reason. I can only say it may not be for everyone.

Adam Silver said ( about Adam Silver ) : “It is critical that every player understand that he has the right to choose not to return to play. Any player who exercises this right will not be disciplined. To respect the decision of those who do return to play, it has been agreed that any player who chooses not to participate will have his compensation reduced by 1/92.6 for each game missed up to a cap of 14 games even his team plays more than 14 games in Orlando. There will be no other reductions of pay assessed (e.g., fines for missed practices) for a player’s decision not to return to play. Any player that wishes to exercise this right should notify his team of this election by June 24. Commissioner Adam Silver said on June 15 players won’t be considered in breach of contract if they choose not to play for any reason. I can only say it may not be for everyone. It will entail enormous sacrifice on behalf of those players and for everyone involved the coaches the referees listen it’s not an ideal situation,”

Adam Silver said : “I think one of the things we know, we've learned a lot about the virus since we shut down in March, and the data is demonstrating that for the most part, and there are exceptions, that [it is] healthy young people that are the least vulnerable,” “So we are going to have to work through protocols that maybe, for example, certain coaches may not be able to be the bench coach. They may have to retain social distancing protocols. And maybe they can be in the front of a room, a locker room or a ballroom with a whiteboard, but when it comes to actual play we're not going to want them that close to players in order to protect them. So those are all issues that we are continuing to work through”
