The Milwaukee Bucks have decided to sit out Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Orlando Magic, the NBA announced Wednesday.
The team's decision comes after police shot Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, multiple times in the back Sunday in Kenosha, Wis.
Even before the Bucks' decision to sit out, the shooting in Wisconsin appeared to have impacted countless players and coaches in the Orlando bubble.
Bucks guard George Hill said Monday he regretted coming to the NBA bubble amid all that is going on in society. “We can’t do anything [from Orlando],” Hill said.
