NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, a source tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Thursday's three playoff games will be postponed. A resumption of the season could come as soon as Friday, but there is expected to be a return to the play by the weekend according to sources.

Players held a meeting at 11 a.m. ET. There will be another meeting Thursday with two players from each team, sources tell ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

Thursday's second meeting is to formulate action plans to address racial injustice issues as well as ironing out details of restarting the playoffs, according to a source.

They realized that normal people don’t care what they do.

Too late, they already canceled themselves.

A gun was found in the car. Kenosha narrative not taking the turn they’d planned on.

Too many base wage players need the money and don't want to coddle the multi-millionaire prima donnas?

NBA players decided to stop boycotting themselves - most people would know from the start that ruining your own business makes no sense, but wokesters apparently take some time to realize the obvious.

Looks like someone explained to their agents how much money they'd lose for violating the terms of the television contracts.

Worse, a full breach of contract likely means the broadcasters can renegotiate now instead of waiting for the contract expiration and the inevitable drop of the financial hammer comes tomorrow instead of years from now.

Yeah - this. LeBron James can afford to retire now - calling for an end to the season is easy for him. Most of the league is just trying to hang on to a spot on a team.

Curious timing ... right when the broader Left is figuring out that the riots are helping President Trump ... very curious, indeed.

Every day, these morons show the world just how stupid and irrelevant they are. I am beginning to wonder if pro sports will ever recover... and I, along with many others, don’t even care if it does or doesn’t at this point.
