The Milwaukee Bucks ownership group has issued a statement in support of their players in response to NBA playoff games scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 26 being postponed.
"We fully support our players and the decision they made," the Bucks ownership group said in a release. "Although we did not know beforehand, we would have wholeheartedly agreed with them.
"The only way to bring about change is to shine a light on the racial injustices that are happening in front of us. Our players have done that and we will continue to stand alongside them and demand accountability and change."
