The Milwaukee Bucks did not take the floor for the scheduled start of Wednesday’s playoff game against the Orlando Magic amid discussions of a player boycott.
The Magic initially took the court for pregame warmups, but left after Bucks players didn’t show up.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks have decided to boycott the game.
Talks of a boycott surfaced after the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man and father of three. Video surfaced late Sunday of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin shooting Blake in the back multiple times, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down, according to his father.
