The NBA has confirmed there will be no games for a third straight day today but the play-offs will resume tomorrow.

The decision ends a three-day halt to the action as part of a player-led protest that was sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and led to game cancellations in other sports as well.

A host of US sports games were postponed after the Milwaukee Bucks chose not to play on Thursday in protest at the shooting of Jacob Blake.

As part of the agreement, the NBA and its players will establish a coalition that will focus on access to voting for the Nov. 3 general election, promoting civic engagement, and advocating for meaningful police and criminal justice reform.
