As the market closes very soon, a Nets player has just indicated to his franchise that he will not play in Orlando. The timing is not ideal.
While the NBA must resume in a few weeks with the displacement of the 22 franchises in Orlando, certain files are still to be settled for the different teams. The free agent market should not close until June 30, Tuesday.
This is an opportunity for franchises to strengthen and make some changes to their roster. For the Nets, who have already welcomed a reinforcement, it will probably be necessary.
Indeed, the leaders were entitled to bad news today: Wilson Chandler will not travel to Florida for the rest of the season. The winger, who was running at 21 minutes of average playing time on this campaign, refuses to come.

Wilson Chandler has informed the Nets that he will not be playing in Orlando.
Still according to ESPN, the reasons are family, Chandler wishing to spend time with his loved ones. In any case, Brooklyn should seek to replace him by Tuesday evening. Remember that the team is currently seventh in the Eastern conference and therefore has a card to play for the playoffs.
This is a new withdrawal from the NBA, and a few more could still happen. Deductibles are notified.
