The NBA players and Board of Governors have decided to resume the NBA Postseason after two days of boycotting playoff games.

After the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the court for their Game 5 against the Magic yesterday, the other four teams slated to play were quick to follow suit. Reports suggest there was a level of frustration with the Bucks blindsiding the other players with their decision to boycott.

The NBA held strong in their stand against social injustices. A unified front of players, coaches, referees, owners, and fans participated in one of the biggest days in American sports history. Now the NBA has chosen to continue using their platform and their voices to spread awareness on the issues they have been vocally passionate about.

We love this league.
