One of the most-watched murder trials in recent history finally concluded today, as Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter after killing George Floyd in Minneapolis over the summer. The move prompted reactions from all over the sport, and Gary Trent Jr. and the Toronto Raptors were by no means silent on this matter.
The Floyd murder was a flashpoint that enabled athletes all across sports to use their platform to advocate for change and social justice, with Trent, who has been amazing on the floor for Toronto, following in those footsteps.
