Last week was a historic, and deeply important, week in NBA history. On Wednesday, players on the Milwaukee Bucks decided against playing Game 5 of its first round series with the Magic as a means of protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man in Kenosha, Wis who was shot by police on Aug. 23. The decision by the Bucks reignited a wave of social justice protests around the sports world as players from the WNBA, MLB and MLS decided not to play in some of their scheduled contest on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
