Toronto coach Nick Nurse addressed the possibility of the Raptors and Celtics players boycotting the first game of their playoff series on Thursday in response to the Jacob Blake shooting. Yahoo Sports reported the NBA players’ union has talked with players about the logistics of boycotting games in the name of social justice. RAPTORS TALKED BOYCOTTING PLAYOFF GAME IN RESPONSE TO JACOB BLAKE SHOOTING: REPORT“Boycotting the game has come up for them as a way to again try to demand a little more action. And I think that's really what they want. I think there's enough attention and there's not quite enough action, and I think that's what I can sense from the discussion,” Nurse told reporters Wednesday, according to ESPN.
