Brandon Aiyuk, Kristaps Porzingis, and Harrison Bader stopped receiving paychecks from their teams.
## Brandon Aiyuk’s Situation
Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the 49ers in August 2024 but tore his ACL in the seventh game of that season.
## 49ers’ Action on Aiyuk
The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s guarantees and placed him on the reserve/left squad list for failing to show up to team headquarters.
## Porzingis’ Health Issues
Porzingis was diagnosed with POTS in 2024, preventing consistent play, and the Warriors withheld his pay while he remained away from the team.
## Bader’s Injury
Bader missed the final four months of the season with a left foot injury diagnosed in May and compounded by a scooter collision in July.
## Teams’ Contract Rights
Each team still holds contractual rights to the athletes despite their absence.
