Report: NBA Players Vote to Resume Playoffs, Postpone Thursday Games

NBA players have voted to resume the 2020 playoffs, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Players and the league are aiming for games to restart on Friday, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

"NBA players in meeting today agreed to continue playing this postseason — but want to find new and improved ways to make social justice statements," Charania wrote on Thursday. "Players expect games to resume this weekend."

Six teams opted not to play on Wednesday following the shooting of Kenosha, Wisc. resident Jacob Blake. Players across the league met on Wednesday night following the postponements, though no decision was reached.
