The Los Angeles Lakers’ pursuit of their 17th NBA championship is back on as the league will be resuming play in Orlando on July 30 after more than three months off due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
There are still some details that need to be sorted out, as a players’ coalition has raised some valid concerns both about health and safety and the social climate of the country.
While it seems the safety concerns have been alleviated a bit with the league releasing guidelines on how the Orlando “bubble” will work, the players still have some decisions to make as far as the social justice and Black Lives Matter movement.
