The NBA is working on a deal to allow players to replace the names on the backs of their jerseys with statements promoting social injustice and racial equality.
Under Armour has informed UCLA that it wants to terminate the $280-million deal the apparel maker signed with the school in 2016.“This includes strategies to increase Black representation in all positions across the NBA and its teams, [to] ensure greater inclusion of black-operated businesses across NBA business activities, and the formation of an NBA foundation to expand educational and economic development opportunities across the Black community,” Silver said.
NBPA president Chris Paul said the players in Orlando plan to make good use of the attention they anticipate receiving. “Just know that you’re going to continue to hear us. Just know that,” Paul said earlier this week. “It’s never a shut-up-and-dribble situation. You’re going to continue to hear us and see us.”
