When the NBA players made the decision to boycott playoff games in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, there were questions as to whether or not this would lead to the cancellation of the rest of the postseason.
There were reports that both the Los Angeles Lakers and L.A. Clippers both voted to walk out and end the season. Exactly how close the players were to walking away isn’t quite known.
But it was undoubtedly a possibility and one that Danny Green said the Lakers were willing to do. “It was kind of up in the air, 50-50,” Green said.
