Players, Coaches, Refs Kneel For Anthem

Powerful moment from the NBA restart -- where every single player on both the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz took a knee in solidarity during the national anthem.

It was quite a statement in the first official game of the NBA restart in the bubble environment at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

Seems every coach and referee in the building also took a knee alongside stars like Rudy Gobert, Lonzo Ball, Zion Willaimson and Donovan Mitchell.

All of the players were wearing "Black Lives Matter" shirts -- and were standing behind the "BLM" art at center court.
