Dahil sa isa naman insidente ng pamamaril ng mga pulis sa isang American-African, nagpasya ang NBA na kanselahin muna ang laro sa playoffs.

Ito ay bilang pagprotesta sa shooting incident kay Jacob Blake ng Kenosha, Wisconsin. Naantala ang laro dahil sa pagboycott ng Milwaukee Bucks kontra Orlando Magic,

Kaya naman, walang nangyaring Game 5 ngayong araw. Kanselado rin ang laro ng Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder Game 5.

Over the last few days in our home state of Wisconsin, we’ve seen the horrendous video of Jacob Blake being shot in the back seven times by a police officer in Kenosha, and the additional shooting of protestors,” paliwanag ng players ng Bucks

“Despite the overwhelming plea for change, there has been no action, so our focus today cannot be on basketball.”

Gayundin ang Los Angeles Lakers at Portland Trailblazers, Game 5. Kaugnay ditto, nagsagawa ng pulong ang NBA players at coaches.

Iaanunsiyo na lang nila kung kailan muling ikakasa ang laro.
