In advance of their scrimmage tonight against Houston, the Raptors have made (semi-)official what each player will be wearing on the back of their jersey while playing tonight.
Here’s the list of Toronto players and their chosen message, thanks to the Athletic’s Blake Murphy:
If you’re keeping count: that’s seven Black Lives Matters, two Say Their Names, two Speak Ups, an Education Reform, an Equality, a Justice, a Respect Us, a See Us, and, with typical Serge Ibaka flair, a Respectez Biso. All reference in some way the current political (and protest) climate in America and many other parts of the world, which is instructive.
