Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has been deeply affected by the killing of Breonna Taylor, who was shot by Louisville police while in her own home. He spent two years playing for the University of Louisville before declaring for the NBA draft, and wore “Say Her Name” on the back of his jersey for the NBA bubble games. Mitchell said he was “praying for the city of Louisville” when it was announced on Wednesday that none of the officers responsible for her death would be charged with homicide.
On Thursday Mitchell sent another tweet in response to the Breonna Taylor situation, apologizing to Breonna herself for the justice system failing to hold anyone responsible for her senseless death.
