The NBA finals resumed this Saturday, August 29 in Orlando, three days after the historic boycott of players in reaction to the case of Jacob Blake, an African-American who was shot several times in the back during his arrest by the police. On Wednesday, shocked by this new police blunder, the Milwaukee Bucks players boycotted the game against the Orlando Magic. This forced the NBA to postpone the meeting, as well as Houston-Oklahoma City, Lakers-Portland also scheduled for that day, and Toronto-Boston, Clippers-Dallas, Denver-Utah scheduled for Thursday. As a result of this mobilization, the players succeeded in imposing an action plan involving the North American Basketball League and team owners, to accentuate the fight against racial injustice.
