Tonight, the Milwaukee Bucks would play Game Five in the NBA Finals against the Orlando Magic. But the Milwaukee Bucks never came into play when they chose to remain in the locker room, according to ESPN.
The background to the boycott was the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake. He was shot several times in the back by a police officer and is being treated with serious injuries at a Milwaukee hospital. The course of events was captured on film and has in several places triggered a new wave of protests against police violence.
"We have had enough of the murders and injustices," Guard George Hill told ESPN.
