STATEMENT FROM NBPA ON PLAYER PROTEST AND POSTPONEMENT OF GAMES


The NBA Players Association’s executive director Michelle Roberts releases the following statement after NBA players boycotted playoff games on August 26th:
ORLANDO, FL, August 26, 2020 – "Throughout the season restart, our players have been unwavering in their demands for systemic justice. This week we witnessed another horrific, shocking and all too familiar act of brutality in the shooting of 29 year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Players have, once again, made it clear - they will not be silent on this issue. We stand with the decision of the players of the Milwaukee Bucks to protest this injustice and support the collective decision to postpone all of today's games."
