LeBron James has made it clear that he wants to complete the NBA season and that his involvement on the court won’t affect his ability to inspire change in society. Laker’s guard Danny Green also said that NBA restart can create more social justice change in the country as well as it would have a greater impact on the world.
Meanwhile Lakers Avery Bradley and Dwight Howard may have plans to sit out of the NBA restart(not confirmed), as they have extended support to Kyrie Irving, who is not in favor of the restart. However Laker’s think that Howard will play in Orlando.
