根據美媒的報導,魔術前鋒Jonathan Isaac解釋自己在賽前奏唱國歌時並沒有穿著「黑人的命也是命」的上衣也沒有與眾球員一起下跪是因為信基督教之後,他的球衣在官網已經完售。數據顯示,Isaac的球衣銷量攀升至聯盟第二,僅次於湖人前鋒LeBron James。
Isaac在接受採訪時表示:「穿著BLM的T-Shirt或在國歌期間下跪對BLM議題並沒有幫助,我當然支持這一項議題,然而我相信我的生命是被上帝所支持的,每個人都是上帝所創造的意象。」
昨日,魔術以132-116大勝國王,比賽第四節,Isaac在一次進攻回合中落地後表情痛苦地摀住左膝,隨後坐著輪椅返回更衣室。隨後根據檢測結果,Isaac遭遇左膝十字韌帶撕裂,賽季報銷。

"Kneeling or wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt didn't go hand in hand with supporting Black Lives... I believe that my life has been supported through the Gospel, everyone is made in the image of God.”
