Since yesterday, the NBA has been working with players to come to an agreement about the completion of the season. Three games were postponed yesterday as the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted a game in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Afterward, the Lakers and the Clippers voted to boycott the season. Now, players have voted once more and the season WILL continue.Â
UPDATE: NBA players voted this morning to resume the season tomorrow. Today’s games have been postponed.Â

The NBA was one of the major leaders when it came to the return of sports in the US. Now, after a successful season restart, some teams have expressed an interest in boycotting the rest of the season in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. As of this morning, three games have been postponed and the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers have cast votes in favor of boycotting the remainder of the season.
Since the NBA season’s return at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, we’ve seen lots of new merchandise, gotten a peek at some of the special set-up the players have, and even seen a blimp soaring over Disney World.

But due to the global health crisis this year,Disney World is serving as an isolated “bubble” where the teams can all live and play without coming into contact with anyone else.)
The NBA is finishing up the season on Walt Disney World property.
Grand Floridian NBA Blue Wall
We’ve been keeping watch on the big blue wall at Disney’s Grand Floridian. The NBA set up camp behind the blue barrier to isolate players from the public.
