The Milwaukee Bucks are boycotting their playoff game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday afternoon to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., on Sunday. The game was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. EDT, but minutes before tip-off, the Bucks had still not taken the court. ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed the boycott news on Twitter. In a follow-up tweet, Wojnarowski said that the decision to boycott what was supposed to be Game 5 of the Bucks’ first-round playoff game against the Magic was made by the players.
