The NBA postponed all playoff games on Wednesday night in response to several teams’ decisions to not participate over the recent police shooting of a Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which has resulted in days of unrest. The Milwaukee Bucks initially staged the walkout during Wednesday’s NBA playoff game against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks players formalised the decision not to play before tipoff in Orlando, sources told The Athletic and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Sterling Brown and George Hill read a prepared statement from the Milwaukee Bucks players. Video of the shooting that surfaced Sunday night has prompted nightly protests in Kenosha that turned violent last night when armed white vigilantes arrived.
