The 2020 NBA playoffs apparently will continue -- just not Thursday night.
Players in the Orlando bubble decided to resume the postseason Thursday in a meeting, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports. Their decision comes a day after the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their first-round playoff game with the Orlando Magic following the shooting of an unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisc., on Sunday.
Two other playoff games Wednesday were postponed after the Bucks' boycott, and Thursday's three playoff games will be postponed, as well, per Wojnarowski.
