Although the Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of preparing for a full-fledged return to the 2019-20 NBA season, players are still dealing with issues bigger than basketball following the death of George Floyd, and subsequent protests and calls for equality.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis are among the notable players to use their platform to speak out against racial injustice as protests continue to take place throughout the United States. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel also made sure to take action by joining the committee established by the National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA) to help spur a change with local leadership in NBA cities.
