The team was scheduled to tip off against the Orlando Magic at 4 pm Wednesday for Game 5 of their seven-game first-round playoff series, but they never emerged from the locker room. The Magic, who are currently losing the series three games to one, are “not accepting the Bucks’ forfeit,” according to NBA reporter Shams Charania. The Bucks’ protest makes sense: Not only was Blake shot just several dozen miles from their training facility, they also have had experience with police brutality before. In September 2018, a Bucks player, forward Sterling Brown, was tased and arrested by Milwaukee police, but never charged." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
