Shams Charania reports Tuesday of a “growing consensus” among NBA players to kneel during the national anthem when games begin again Thursday. The anthem hasn’t been played prior to the 33 scrimmages. In addition, Charania reports some players will likely wear gear bearing unapproved social messages related to Black Lives Matter protests...
Expect the Nets to join in those protests. After all, all 14 players will wear a social justice message on their jerseys unlike some of the 22 teams in Orlando. Several of the Nets have spoken about personally taking part in street protests, including Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen.
