The NBA canceled all three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday evening after the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to take the floor for their game against the Orlando Magic in a boycott meant to bring attention to social justice after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

"We're tired of the killings and the injustice," Bucks guard George Hill said...

Official tweet from the NBA:

The NBA and the NBPA today announced that in light of the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to not take the floor today for Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, today’s three games – MIL-ORL, HOU-OKC and LAL-POR have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled.
