Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma supported the decision of the NBA players to boycott the three playoff games scheduled on Wednesday.
The superstars of the Los Angeles Lakers also demanded justice for Jacob Blake, who was shot multiple times by police officers in Wisconsin, as he approached his car, and is currently paralyzed from the waist down.
“We want justice for Jacob Blake. The good thing is that he is stable and survived but it’s unacceptable. We’re continuing to talk and try to find justice for him and everyone else who has been a victim.
For us, it’s continuing to push the envelope on every situation on social justice, and it doesn’t stop,” Davis told reporters.
“Such a terrible situation that we’re going through in this country, still, after so many years of this. For a man to get shot seven times by cops, unarmed, in front of his kids, that his kids will probably remember the rest of their lives—that’s scary.
Not only for me but every African-American, every minority in this country. It’s something that we need to continue to work on as a society to change,” Kuzma claimed.
