Hornets owner Michael Jordan has played a key role in the talks between NBA players and owners as the league navigates the on-going social justice movement, according to ESPN's Jackie MacMullan.
The reported talks follow the decision by the Milwaukee Bucks players to protest Wednesday's Game 5 against the Magic. Subsequent NBA games on Wednesday were postponed following the Bucks' decision.
Jordan, the lone Black majority owner in the league, spoke with NBPA president, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul, in advance of last night's meeting, in which players discussed how they plan on proceeding with the 2019-20 season.
