The NBA world blew up on Wednesday afternoon after the Milwaukee Bucks decided to boycott Game 5 of their first-round series against the Orlando Magic. They are up, 3-1, over the Magic.
The Bucks chose not to play in an effort to bring awareness and justice for Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was the subject of police brutality in Kenosha, Wis. on Sunday.
As a matter of fact, Blake was shot multiple times by police in front of his children.
Numerous NBA stars, headlined by Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, have voiced their displeasure with the lack of justice in the aftermath of the league’s decision to postpone Wednesday’s slate of playoff games.
In addition, some players on the Toronto Raptors are thinking about leaving the NBA bubble in Orlando, Fla.
Players are expected to meet inside the bubble on Wednesday night and tinker on ways to move forward.
