Clippers’ Lou Williams says he’s ’50-50′ on NBA players returning
“We don’t want to be a distraction,” Williams said
LA Clippers guard Lou Williams said he’s 50-50 on NBA players returning for the resumption of the season. Williams is concernced that games could take the focus off the Black Lives Matter movement.
“The point that some of the guys are raising about not playing is, basically, we don’t want to be a distraction,” Williams said. “For us, the only benefit of us not playing is to keep the focus on the fight. And with that being said, this [return] is in six weeks. In six weeks, the world may need some healing. They may need us to be on the floor. But if more black kids or black adults or any adults that’s dealing with police brutality are getting killed, and we are still outraged, I don’t know if it is in our best interest to suit up.”
