Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers has been the leading voice from inside the NBA bubble as the league and its players grapple with social justice issues.
It was appropriate that he was one of the first to speak Friday after the NBA and players union announced their plan to resume play after three days of postponed games amid a player walkout to protest the Jacob Blake shooting.
Rivers spoke with reporters Friday afternoon and gave an inside look into the talks between players, ownership and commissioner Adam Silver as they worked out a solution that allowed for the resumption of play alongside addressing larger societal issues.
