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.

NBA is playing? Did not know. Usually the guys here have the games on all the time.

They haven’t turned the TV on at all.

They realized nobody cared.

On a serious note, now that polling is showing white support for BLM and riots to be cratering, look for the Democrats and their media supporters to pivot away.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the BLM messages disappear from the jerseys they're wearing. And when this happens (slowly, not all at once), nobody in the news media or at ESPN will mention it.

Whew. I’m glad that’s over.

Just one question: what’s an NBA?

They should refuse to play professional basketball until they are 100% satisfied that all systemic racism in the USA has been eradicated.

Until then I will have no respect for them, nor will I watch any of their games.

"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. "

I sure hope you're correct.

As a former Nuggets season ticket holder, ask me if I care if they ever play again. My answer would be I couldn’t care less.

The lawyers for the owners sat down with the Player’s rep.

Would have loved to a fly on the wall where they explained what a “strike” means.

I wasn’t aware they stopped the playoffs. That’s because I don’t give a damn about the NBA prima donna phony hypocrites.

Raise your hand if you still give a phuque what these arrogant, social justice warriors do to destroy the goose that laid their golden egg?

They're confusing their personal feelings about alleged systemic racism with playing an athletic event for money.

Professional dumb shits.
