MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said the organization would "continue to fight for better" in the aftermath of a jury's verdict Friday that Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two men and wounded another during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, was acquitted of all charges.
The Bucks performed a wildcat strike during the NBA's playoff bubble in Orlando, days after a white police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in August 2020 and one day after Rittenhouse shot three people in the protests over police violence that followed.
The Bucks met as a team ahead of Friday's 96-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and while Milwaukee forward Khris Middleton didn't want to go into details about the team's conversation, he said they never discussed not taking the court Friday.
