When the New Orleans Pelicans take the floor in Orlando, fans will likely see more than their favorite players’ names on the back of the jersey.
Several members of the New Orleans Pelicans have been involved in social justice protests off the court and now they’ll be able to express themselves while they’re on the court as well.
Lonzo Ball, Jaxson Hayes and J.J. Redick have all been outspoken about the Black Lives Matter movement, whether it is marching in protests, releasing songs or having discussions on podcasts.
