...too.

The Celtics and Toronto Raptors are supposed to start their playoff series tomorrow.

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown said of his jersey number yesterday, after seeing the Jacob Blake video, “I look at my jersey now, what I see is a black man being shot seven times.”

A lot of what’s happening in the NBA stems from the ascendance of LeBron James to a leadership role in the sport.

(Yeah, I know I started with the announcement all NBA games had been cancelled.  I thought details matter, too.)
Next up!  MLB!

The club made the decision in response to the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. The Reds are on board with the Brewers’ choice, Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets.

The Brewers are the second Milwaukee pro team to make this move, following the NBA’s Bucks, who aren’t playing their scheduled playoff contest against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The NBA decided after that to postpone all of its postseason games for the day, and it’s unclear if or when the league will resume in 2020.

As the Brewers were deciding whether to play Wednesday, star reliever Josh Hader said (via Bob Nightengale of USA Today): “It’s a tremendous stand. We have to bring light to this situation that we have, it’s a big thing.”

I'm sure Trump will be far better off talking about this can covid, too.  Right?
