The NBA wasted no time in denouncing the police brutality and racial profiling that has once again come to light following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
Floyd’s death has sparked nationwide protests in an effort to put an end to racial injustice and bring about reform with law enforcement. Many players, coaches and other league personnel have personally taken to the front lines to make their voices heard in a peaceful manner.
The Los Angeles Lakers issued a statement on behalf of the organization, and LeBron James, Anthony Davis and other players have been active in addressing matters as well.
