Report: Rudy Gobert, CJ McCollum, Among NBA Stars Having Selected Social Justice Jersey Messages

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.
