ESPN’s Jonathan Givony says players were threatened with lifetime bans if they do not report back to their teams. Agents were also threatened with the temporary loss of licenses if their players do not report. From the ESPN article: One memo, which was acquired by ESPN and sent to a number of player representatives, threatened “lifetime bans for players who do not return by March 15,” and loss of league agency licenses “for 2-3 seasons if they cannot force represented players to return to CBA.”
