The league issued a news release outlining a meeting later this afternoon to discuss next steps. The meeting will include players and management as well as NBA Labor Relations Committee Chairman Michael Jordan.
Here's a statement from the NBA:
“NBA playoff games for today will not be played as scheduled. We are hopeful to resume games either Friday or Saturday.
There is a video conference call meeting scheduled later this afternoon between a group of NBA players and team governors representing the 13 teams in Orlando, along with representatives from the National Basketball Players Association and the league office and NBA Labor Relations Committee Chairman Michael Jordan, to discuss next steps.”
WNBA postpones all three Thursday games
The WNBA has postponed Thursday’s three scheduled games.
Nneka Ogwumike, president of the WNBA Players Association and LA Sparks forward, appeared on ESPN Thursday to speak for the player’s decision to not play for a second straight night.
“This is not a strike. This is not a boycott. This is affirmatively a day of reflection. A day of informed action and mobilization," Ogwumike said.
The WNBA also released a statement saying, “As the WNBA players continue discussions and reflection on recent events, the WNBA announced that the three games scheduled for this evening (Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever; Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty; Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm) have been postponed. Information regarding rescheduling of yesterday and today’s games will be provided when available.”
