, still hang in the balance, as a meeting of NBA players and coaches Wednesday failed to reach a concensus on next steps.
Wednesday’s NBA playoff games were postponed when the Milwaukee Bucks – the team nearest Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the Jacob Blake shooting incident that sparked protests and looting took place – decided not to play their game. The NBA has not said when those games would be made up. Before teams arrived in the Orlando, Florida bubble where they’ve been playing, a movement was started by Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets to boycott the rest of the season. Despite Irving’s efforts, the NBA players decided to forge ahead. Now, weeks into their confinement and with many teams about to be eliminated, sentiments may have shifted.
