On an extraordinary day for the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted Game 5 of their playoff series against the Orlando Magic in protest at the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
ESPN later reported that Wednesday’s other two playoff games – between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets; and the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers – had also been postponed. The games are expected to be rescheduled for a later date.

Great news. Less revenue for the NBA and players.
Cancel the season we do not need basketball
Sorry, can’t do that ;P
If Blake is resurrected, the games continue, right?
Protest and boycott playing FOREVER.
If teams boycott, they should forfeit. Put some skin into the game.
The NBA: Dead Man Walking!!! soon the headline will be:
NBA Cancels Game when NO Fans show up.
Excellent! Keep boycotting.
Did anybody know there were playoff games?!?
If any of us refuse to go to work because some Criminal got shot by the Police, do we still get paid?
Now thats a ‘cancel culture’ we can all get behind.
Good..more people will watch the RNC Convention :-)
If these multi millionaire douche bags hate America so much, they can give back ALL the millions they received for putting a ball into a freakin HOOP and they can LEAVE..go to China since China owns them anyway
Way to shoot yourself in the foot.
I’m sure the few remaining fans you had will be thrilled that they can’t watch the game now because you’re throwing a temper tantrum.
Isn’t it about time Americans got past professional sports altogether?
They are all patting themselves on the back with “there are more important things than basketball” pronouncements.
Indeed.
Great news! Hopefully the cops shoot more people
yes! I will protest against violence by watching the NHL playoffs.
NBA.....
No
Basketball
Anymore
The deceased was a known felon who fought the police officers who came to talk to him with a knife. He was not the POTUS, a Supreme Court Justice, or Rep. John Lewis.
The NBA Owners are in a fix though. If they don't kowtow to their thug players, the players walk out and ruin the season. But the fans who aren't "woke" fools aren't going to like this crap.
NO.
