Boycott: NBA playoff games called off amid player protest

All three NBA playoff games scheduled for Wednesday have been postponed, with players around the league choosing to boycott in their strongest statement yet against racial injustice. The NBA said all three games would be rescheduled, yet did not say when. The dramatic series of moves began when the Bucks – the NBA’s team from Wisconsin, a state rocked in recent days by the shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man – didn’t take the floor for their playoff game against the Magic.
