Chris Paul sent his message to the other NBA players regarding the restart of the season, during the Kyrie Irving-led conference call on Friday.
Paul, who is the president of the Players’ Association (NBPA), told players they were free to not participate, but there would be financial consequences.
“NBPA president Chris Paul joined Irving’s call Friday night, and he told members more than once that they were certainly free to make personal choices on playing again, but they did need to consider and understand the financial implications of staying home, sources said,” ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski report.
