NBC Sports Boston has apologized for its decision to cut away from an interview Friday with the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown just as he was about to respond to a question about Black Lives Matter protests.
The network has received backlash on social media since cutting out of the interview with Brown, who has been prominently involved with BLM protests, during its postgame show after the Celtics’ scrimmage with the Thunder Friday.
It's still worth explaining why it cut away. https://t.co/W4L4YQnZ28

As Brown was beginning to speak, the network cut back to host Kyle Draper and analyst Brian Scalabrine in the studio.
