在今天早上震撼全美國會大廈的暴動之後，整個NBA再次群起表達訴求。根據ESPN的Adrian Wojnarowski的說法，加上BLM議題種種原因，以至於波士頓賽爾提克隊和邁阿密熱火隊之間的比賽被延遲。
Asked source who has been briefed on the pregame events here if not playing for an option for Celtics-Heat. "Almost," the source said.

加上NBA球員仍因基諾沙縣地方檢察官的判決而感到憤怒，該判決最後不對8月份槍殺非裔美國人Jacob Blake的警察起訴，川普支持者引發的騷亂是最後一根稻草。
據報導，賽爾提克隊和熱火隊在前45分鐘舉行了一次閉門會議，以評估他們的下一步行動。兩支球隊都離開賽場，有點像是上賽季公鹿隊罷賽的情況抗議。
但是，兩支球隊都決定回到場上，並在國歌期間集體單膝下跪表示抗議。公鹿隊和底特律活塞隊在比賽開始時也緊接著開始，他們也在國歌期間單膝下跪。預計今天比賽的其他六支球隊也將以同個方式抗議。
