A number of the NBA's biggest stars have already chosen a social justice-related message that will be displayed on the back of their jerseys at the start of the NBA's restart this July.
Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported Tuesday evening a sample of some of the player selections:
- Rudy Gobert, Jazz: "Equality"
- CJ McCollum, Trail Blazers: "Education Reform"
- Jusuf Nurkic, Trail Blazers: "Equality"
- Kent Bazemore, Kings: "Education Reform"
- Matisse Thybulle, 76ers: "Vote"
- Pat Connaughton, Bucks: "Equality"
- Meyers Leonard, Heat: "Equality"
- Ivica Zubac, Clippers: "Enough"
- Moe Wagner, Wizards: "Vote"
Late last week, the NBA and the NBPA reached a deal regarding the content of messages that can be displayed above player jersey numbers when the league resumes its season in late July.
