In a historic move, the Milwaukee Bucks didn't take the floor for Wednesday's playoff game against the Orlando Magic because of the police shooting of Jacob Blake and racial injustice.
All three scheduled games - Bucks-Magic, Rockets-Thunder and Lakers-Trail Blazers - were postponed.
In a statement, the NBA said the games would be rescheduled but didn't offer further details. The league also didn't shed light on whether Thursday's games would be played.
"The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association 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 – Bucks vs. Magic, Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers - have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled."
