The National Basketball Players Association and the NBA reached an agreement Friday on social justice messages that can be displayed above the number on the back of jerseys when the league resumes play July 30, a source told ESPN's The Undefeated.
Via e-mail, players were made aware of a list of social messages -- agreed upon by both the NBPA and the NBA -- that can be displayed in that space on the jersey during the first four days of the restart that does not include their last name, source told The Undefeated.
Players can have a first and second choice, but they do not have to use the space for a social message if they do not want to, the source said.
