#NBA players won’t cancel season

Players decided not to boycott the remainder of the playoffs on Thursday morning, ESPN.com reported. Thursday’s games will still be postponed. The goal is to restart the season on Friday, according to The Athletic. The unrest among players comes after the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

It came after the Bucks abruptly boycotted their playoff game against the Magic on Wednesday afternoon, leading to the postponement of the other two playoff games that night.
