The WNBA and WNBPA agreed to feature the names of women who have died in connection to police brutality and racial violence on players' jerseys when the season begins later this month.
Among the women honored will be Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police in Louisville in March, and Sandra Bland, who was found dead in a Texas jail in 2015.
Players will also wear warm-up shirts that say "Black Lives Matter" and "Say Her Name" throughout the season. The phrase "Black Lives Matter" will also be prominently displayed on courts at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
