Milwaukee Bucks point guard George Hill told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated the team is boycotting Game 5 against the Orlando Magic due to the Jacob Blake shooting.
Blake was shot seven times in the back by Wisconsin police in front of his children.

George Hill and the Bucks are up 3-1 on the Magic. Game 5 will have to be rescheduled, as the Bucks need to win one more game to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
Since Jacob Blake was shot in Wisconsin, the Bucks feel a sense of urgency to bring justice to Blake and his family. Their decision to boycott Game 5 is historic and will certainly be appreciated by the Blake family.
