Chris Paul walked off the court after Game 4 against the Rockets and shared a message he has consistently preached in the bubble.
“The win is good, but voting is real,” the Thunder point guard said to a national TNT audience. “I’m going to challenge all my NBA guys, other sports guys to try to get our entire teams registered to vote.”
Paul’s voting message was amplified as a result of the players’ strike.
Games will resume Saturday, but only after the NBA and National Basketball Players Association agreed to enact two commitments that should enhance voter turnout in November.
