NBA personnel have shown their support towards the Black Lives Matter movement prior to the season resumption in Orlando.
After being one of the first sport's leagues worldwide to halt competition amid the coronavirus outbreak in March, the NBA returned to the hardwoods today in their Florida bubble.
Moments before tip-off in the opener between the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz, players, coaches and match officials linked arms and kneeled on the sideline in front of the words "Black Lives Matter", which are printed on the court.
Players also wore shirts with the words during practice and the national anthem.
