Two NBA superstars are still deciding if they are going to partake in the “bubble” games down in Orlando, Florida.
One is Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo. Since players are prone to get hurt at Disney World because they haven’t played in such a long time, Oladipo needs to make sure his surgically-repaired quad tendon is ready for the “bubble” games and the physical exertion of NBA basketball.
The other player is Washington Wizards wing Bradley Beal:
“I have yet to make mine,” the two-time NBA All-Star Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.
“I’m still working my tail off every single day as if I am playing. It is definitely more or less going to be a decision that comes down to the medical staff and I just because of our precautions and coming back from zero to 100. I had some nagging stuff at the end of the year we are trying to clean up, too. We’re looking at it from all angles. I’m definitely working out every single day in here. It’s good to be back in the facility.”
Oladipo will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2021 unless the Pacers sign him to an extension before then. The NBA high-flyer could get hurt in Orlando and jeopardize his future earnings since he's coming back from a serious ailment.
One of the reasons Beal's Wizards teammate Davis Bertans dropped out of the NBA “bubble” games is because he has torn his ACL twice and becomes a free agent this offseason. The Latvian Laser doesn't want to risk anything.
22 NBA teams will be partaking in the “bubble” games. Along with Bertans, Trevor Ariza, Avery Bradley, Willie Cauley-Stein, Wilson Chandler and DeAndre Jordan have dropped out.
