As it stands right now, the possibility of the NBA postseason continuing on is highly unlikely if players are taking this stance today.

The teams boycotted their playoff game Wednesday in protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot by white police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that players from the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors discussed boycotting their first playoff game scheduled for Thursday.
