The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have reportedly voted in favor of boycotting the remainder of the 2020 postseason.
NBA insider Shams Charania reports that the Lakers and Clippers both voted to boycott the season. They were reportedly the first two teams to exit the meeting.
“The Lakers and Clippers have voted to boycott the NBA season. Most other teams voted to continue. LeBron James has exited the meeting,” he reported.
Stephen A. Smith reacted on Twitter:
“If this is True — if LeBron decides to end the season — the NBA Season has unofficially come to an end,” he tweeted.

Here’s a better idea: [play and] stand for the anthem, to honor our Nation & the heroes who died for our freedom.
And then support school choice by donating 10% of your salaries for scholarships for low-income children to attend excellent schools. https://t.co/T4sbRQh5ID— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) July 31, 2020

With NBA games now in full force, the inevitable race baiting 'kneeling is a sign of disrespect!' tweets are coming. Our message is clear: We love our country. And we also believe that this nation can and must do better to eliminate racism and bigotry. That is why we kneel.— Steve Kerr (@SteveKerr) July 31, 2020
Season? I boycotted the past three decades.
Hopefully they will boycott indefinitely. I’m all for it, but for completely different reasons.
good. bout time our side got a win.
No one’s watching. The ratings are pitiful. This might be their way of getting out of the season without further embarrassment.
You’re literally watching a sports league stop play and hold a boycott over a man who has an arrest warrant for raping a teenage girl that’s a bold strategy
I don’t think the players really wanted to do these playoffs in the first place.
This night just keeps getting better and better.
Good riddance to both teams. They should be disbanded also.
For their next move, they’ll burn down their own houses in protest. This is laughable - go ahead and destroy what’s left of your season if you want, no one cares.
Adam Silver is a cuck. He needs to fine each player. Fine the organization. And take away 1st round picks from both Clippers and Lakers.
What a bunch of idiots. That’s why I don’t watch the NBA.
Good riddance
Blake was shot Sunday afternoon, and they’re just now traumatized? I think they’re tired of the bubble and want to go home. These games mean nothing to them.
Team sports are for children.
Orange ball bad.
agree-they know these games are an embarrassment and ratings suck-if this hits them in the pocketbook double good
