Many NBA players have participated in protests advocating for racial justice.
At the same time, the NBA is slated to soon begin training and playing games.
That led to former NBA player Matt Barnes stating there are several guys on the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers who are not comfortable playing until racial injustice has been addressed.
Josiah Johnson:
Guys have literally told you, “Yo, man, we don’t really feel comfortable playing until this situation gets resolved and figured out.” Is that something that has happened?
Matt Barnes:
It is. Actually, Snoop hit me the other day too, talking about it. Because I had talked to a few guys, not to mention no names. And he said he had talked to a couple guys from the Lakers and the Clippers, and there’s some whispers about some teams not being comfortable. Some guys want to play. Some guys don’t want to play.
