Fred VanVleet, Toronto Raptors guard and Rockford, Ill. native, said his team hasn’t ruled out boycotting games on the NBA’s Disney campus in the wake of police shooting another Black man.
On Sunday, police officers in Kenosha, Wis. shot 29-year-old Jacob Blake several times. Seven gunshots, all of which appeared to come while Blake was facing away from officers after opening his car door, can be heard in a video of the shooting taken by a bystander that has since gone viral across social media platforms. Protesters continue to flood the streets of Kenosha and elsewhere in response to the shooting.
