Having notably used his profile to discuss white privilege in recent years, Milwaukee Bucks veteran Kyle Korver remains committed to real social change.
As the prospect of the NBA season resuming next month looms large, conversation in recent days has shifted to many of the concerns that significant groups of players still have about playing at this time.
Those concerns undoubtedly cover the health risks associated with trying to play organized, competitive sport in the middle of the pandemic, but even more broadly they include questions over what can be achieved, or whether it’s even right to play in the middle of a concerted and sustained movement designed to end police brutality and address larger racial injustices in society.
