NBA players have agreed not to boycott the rest of the season after forcing the postponement of a slate of playoff games in a protest against racial injustice and police brutality.

The police shooting of a Black man in the Wisconsin town of Kenosha has triggered days of violent unrest and riled U.S. professional sports.

The NBA postponed all three playoff games that had been scheduled for yesterday after the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the court for Game 5 of their series against the Orlando Magic.

ESPN and the Washington Post reported that NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs after meeting among themselves in the bubble-like campus at Disney World in Florida, where the games are being played due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The league has postponed the three playoff games scheduled for today.
