The NBA playoffs are back in action after a league-wide shutdown in protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake, thanks in part to a pledge from team owners to support social justice causes.
Among the promises announced on Friday morning were the formation of a social justice coalition, arenas being used as voting locations for the 2020 general election and pro-voting advertising spots during playoff broadcasts.
While the agreement was seen as a welcome step forward, Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, one of the league’s most outspoken players, isn’t entirely convinced the owners will follow through.
