LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Milwaukee Bucks have decided to boycott Game 5 of their NBA playoff series against the Orlando Magic, according to ESPN.
The decision came in the aftermath of the Sunday police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI, and then the subsequent killing of two people during a third night of protests over the event.
17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, was taken into custody Wednesday in Illinois on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were also scheduled Wednesday to play the Houston Rockets, and those two teams also announced they’d be boycotting.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers have announced they, too, will not play their scheduled Wednesday night game.
