NBA Players Decide to Resume Playoffs by Adrian Wojnarowski

On Wednesday, August 25th, NBA players chose to boycott their upcoming games, demanding change following the shooting of Jacob Blake. This morning, the 27th, the players held a meeting addressing racial injustice and discussing the details of restarting the playoffs. A big issue for the players was being able to use their platform to speak up on these issues, and the NBA is currently working on possibilities to allow them to do so.

The NBA ultimately came to the conclusion of restarting the playoffs as soon as Friday the 28th, but at least the upcoming weekend.

In class, we discussed news values and what type of impact they had on stories. This article has a few values worth noting, however I think the biggest one is prominence. I believe this because, since this is the NBA, it allows the players to have a louder voice and make a bigger impact on society than any regular citizen would have.
