Kyrie Irving joins effort to produce PlayersTV special on killing of Breonna Taylor

Kyrie Irving is joining rapper Common and others for a TV special calling for action following the death of Breonna Taylor, the Associated Press reports.

Irving is producing “#SAYHERNAME: BREONNA TAYLOR,” which will debut Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET on the PlayersTV digital and broadcast network. PlayersTV launched in March on Samsung TV Plus as a way for athletes to create their own content.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Black emergency medical technician, was shot eight times in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 13 by plainclothes officers serving a narcotics search warrant without knocking at her apartment.
