Last night the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers have voted in favor of boycotting the remainder of the season.

Sources: Every team besides Lakers and Clippers voted to continue playing. LeBron James said in meeting he want owners to be more involved/take action.

There is expected to be an emergency meeting of the Board of Governors at 11 AM ET to discuss the situation and decide if NBA play will continue at Walt Disney World.

Both the NBA Referees and NBA Coaches Association support the decision of the players.

The NBA Coaches support our players 100%. The restart happened largely because of the platform it provided. The baseless shootings of Jacob Blake and other black men and women by law enforcement underscores the need for action. Not after the playoffs, not in the future, but now.
