Kyrie Irving has come forward and has spoken against the NBA restart in Orlando due to racial tensions in the country.
On Friday night, Kyrie helped organize a conference call among 80 NBA players and vented his frustrations with the league restarting the season in a bubble while Black Lives Matter protests are currently taking place across the country.

Sources tell The Athletic that a group consisting of 80-plus players — including NBPA Vice President Kyrie Irving, NBPA president Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Donovan Mitchell and Avery Bradley — discussed finding unity and a way to attack a cause amid the nationwide unrest stemming from racial injustice, systematic racism and police brutality as well as what the world continues to face during the coronavirus pandemic.
