The Los Angeles Lakers have officially gotten back to work as they are two seeding games into the NBA restart at the Walt Disney World bubble.
Although the focus for the past few weeks and moving forward be on basketball’s return, the NBA has been working in conjunction with the players on how to best approach raising awareness and taking action against social injustices, particularly issues plaguing the Black community.
Several players were concerned that playing would overshadow the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, but the likes of Los Angeles Lakers teammates Danny Green and Kyle Kuzma reasoned that playing actually amplifies their messages.
