Magic vs. Bucks playoff game reportedly off as Milwaukee players opt for boycott

Game 5 of the best-of-seven playoff series between the Orlando Magic vs. Milwaukee Bucks reportedly has been called off after Bucks players agreed to boycott the matchup in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

The Magic were awaiting official word on the status of the game, but Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic reported the game will not be played as scheduled and questions about the next steps had not been answered by the league.

Charania also reported that Bucks players formalized their decision before the game to boycott Game 5. He said the Magic wanted to play.
