Both outlets say the parents have since arranged time off to improve their chances of returning for the tournament. Their aim is to travel back to Miami, where the team’s schedule places them, but the family’s plans are described as a scramble due to the competing demands of work and travel. The reporting focuses on the family’s logistical efforts rather than on any changes to Lopes’ sporting preparations, describing him as continuing to prepare for the tournament while his parents coordinate their return. No further details are provided about confirmed travel dates or ticketing arrangements.
