The NBA has scheduled a special Board of Governors meeting for Thursday morning, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter link).
While Woj hasn’t provided any additional details, it’s safe to assume that NBA team owners will be discussing next steps after players boycotted the three playoff games on Wednesday. Players and coaches in Orlando are meeting on Wednesday night to discuss their plan of action, so the direction of Thursday’s meeting may be dictated in large part by decisions made tonight.
Despite speculation from some players that the rest of the 2019/20 season is in jeopardy, a “sizable” number of players are reportedly advocating to complete the season. Wojnarowski reports (via Twitter) that there’s also a sentiment within the Bucks – the team that initiated today’s boycotts – that they want to continue playing in Orlando.
Earlier this evening, Bucks players called for the Wisconsin State Legislature to reconvene to address “issues of police accountability, brutality, and criminal justice reform.” If players ultimately decide to complete the season, they may first call for similar action from other state governments.
If players decide against finishing the season, it would create major complications related to the salary cap and Collective Bargaining Agreement going forward, as John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 tweets.
