The Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons united in protest at the start of Wednesday night's game in Milwaukee, with each team taking a knee on the court immediately following the opening tip. The Bucks won the tip and then kneeled before throwing the ball out of bounds, and the Pistons returned the gesture on the following possession.
The demonstration comes on the same day that a violent breach of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. took place. The attack was led by supporters of President Trump attempting to disrupt Congress members as they met to formally count the electors who will make Joe Biden president on Jan.
