Not Listed

When the National Basketball Association resumes play in its lockdown/quarantine mode July 30, players will be allowed to replace their names on their jerseys with a particular social justice issue to which they want people to pay attention.

There will be 22 teams and more than 300 players who start the play-in series to determine which teams make the playoffs. I'm not really in the business of predictions, but I will say in this space that this matter will appear on none of those jerseys. Because the NBA is nothing if not consistent when it comes to sacrificing principle on the altar of renminbi.

And of course the jerseys-for-a-cause will be on sale in your team's online shop.
