Utah Jazz’s Ed Davis says restarting the NBA season could help black communities

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz reserve center Ed Davis wants basketball to return.

In a Q&A session with HoopsHype’s Alex Kennedy, Davis, who was on last week’s conference call in which players spoke about their concerns regarding the league’s plan to restart, outlined what happened during the now infamous call and why he thinks it is in the players best interest to resume play, rather than sit out.

While the call did include roughly 80 players, Davis said that most were there to listen. There was a small group of players who were most vocal during the call, including Kyrie Irving, who has gained the most attention for his comments.
