Sources: Players association in active talks with players about logistics of potentially boycotting games

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The NBA Players Association executive committee is in active discussions with players who are seeking guidance on the logistics of potentially boycotting games, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

An assembly, organized by players who are emotionally traumatized by the latest police-involved shooting of an African American that was captured on video, was held Tuesday night at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, sources said, and there were multiple conversations about what actions could be taken throughout the day.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Chris Paul, the union president, and Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala, first vice president of the union, were in attendance to show support, sources said.
