NBA & Players Association Agree To Social Actions, Resuming Playoffs

After three days of games being postponed due to protests by all 13 teams remaining in the Walt Disney World bubble, the NBA and Players Association have come to an agreement to resume the playoffs on Saturday.

It coincided with three commitments by the league and the Board of Governors with regard to social justice reform. The first of which will be a newly-formed social justice coalition.

Represented in this will be players, coaches, and governors. The coalition will focus on bringing access, education, and reform to black communities across the United States.

Secondly, NBA teams that own their arena property will work with local election officials to convert the arena and surrounding areas into voting locations.
