What does a player lose by opting out? Is there just bonus cash for those who show?
This has the potential to be a s**tshow if Covid gets into any of those locker rooms. Or it could go off without a hitch, which would be nice and would probably help us get back to normalcy.

There is playoff bonus money that's paid to the players based on how far they go in the postseason.
Players have until 5:00pm ET on Monday to inform their teams that they're opting out, so there will likely be some more who do.
