Protesters Briefly Block NBA Media Bus in Orlando

Protesters briefly impeded a bus ferrying media around the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida tonight, according to Tim Reynolds of the AP. They chanted, “Black Lives Matter” and held signs asking Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to “stand with” them.

Within two minutes of his initial tweet describing the situation, Reynolds reported that the protesters had let the bus through, so the delay was negligible.
