The NBA and the NBA Players’ Association have both agreed to include social justice in their goals as part of the 2019-20 season resumption plan.

The league and the players’ association met on Wednesday to discuss the steps they need to take to “combat systematic racism and promote social justice.” In a statement released via NBA.com:

“The NBA and NBPA are both committed to fostering an environment that encourages candid conversations between players and league and team leadership and finding tangible and sustainable ways to address racial inequality across the country.  The group that met yesterday agreed in principle that the goal of the season restart in Orlando will be to take collective action to combat systemic racism and promote social justice.”

While no specific plans have been specified, among the key issues they talked about is the increase of Black representation across NBA, greater inclusion of Black-owned NBA-related businesses, and the formation of an NBA foundation “to expand educational and economic development opportunities across the Black community.”

Oklahoma City guard Chris Paul, also the president of the union, noted it is the league and the players’ duty to use their stature to shed light on these hounding issues and work towards affecting policy.

“The issues of systemic racism and police brutality in our country need to end,” said Paul. “As a union of NBA players and as a league, it is our job to use our collective platform to both put a spotlight on those issues and work to effect change. As players, we have taken a leadership role when it comes to using our voices and implementing practical solutions, but there is much work ahead both in Orlando and long-term to continue the momentum and bring about real, long-lasting change to our society.”

Apart from Paul, Attendees of the meeting included NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, BA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Mark Tatum, NBA Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Oris Stuart, NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts, NBPA First Vice President Andre Iguodala, President of Social Responsibility & Player Programs Kathy Behrens, NBA Senior Vice President of Player Development Greg Taylor, NBA Senior Vice President of Content Business Operations Kori Davis Porter, NBPA Foundation Executive Director Sherrie Deans, Malcolm Brogdon of the Indiana Pacers, CJ McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers, Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz, and Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.
