WNBA Players Postpone Thursday's Action in 'Day of Reflection'

For the second consecutive day, the previously scheduled WNBA games have been postponed after players decided to sit out.

The WNBPA released a statement Thursday saying that the players of the league have declared Thursday "a Day of Reflection, a Day of Informed Action and Mobilization."

On Wednesday, players from the league decided to sit out each of the three previously scheduled games. The 2019 WNBA champion Washington Mystics wore shirts to their initially scheduled game against the Dream that spelled out the first and last name of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot multiple times in the back Sunday in Kenosha, Wis.
