LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers 'vote' to boycott rest of NBA playoffs

“Over the last few days in our home state of Wisconsin, we’ve seen the horrendous video of Jacob Blake being shot in the back seven times by a police officer in Kenosha, and the additional shooting of protestors.  

“Despite the overwhelming plea for change, there has been no action, so our focus today cannot be on basketball. 

“When we take the court and represent Milwaukee and Wisconsin, we are expected to play at a high level, give maximum effort and hold each other accountable.  

“We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment, we are demanding the same from our lawmakers and law enforcement.”
