The Milwaukee Bucks staged a strike of today’s game to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin and the NBA canceled all three game fives scheduled for today. Reportedly, players are considering striking for tomorrow’s games as well, and are discussing walking out on the remainder of the NBA season.
“We’re tired of the killings and the injustice,” Bucks guard George Hill told ESPN’s Mark Spears.
Milwaukee is north of Kenosha, where police shot Blake seven times as he climbed into the driver’s of his car with three children inside.
