In a memo to league staffers, NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed the latest racial tensions in the U.S., sparked by the recent death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver sent a memo to the league’s staffers Sunday night to address the latest racial tensions in the country, sparked most recently by the death last week of a black man who was in handcuffs when a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into his neck as he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe.

“Just as we are fighting a pandemic, which is impacting communities and people of colour more than anyone else, we are being reminded that there are wounds in our country that have never healed,” Silver wrote in the memo.
