- Bucks home of Milwaukee is close to site of shooting
- George Hill says team is ‘tired of killings and injustice’
The Milwaukee Bucks have boycotted Game 5 of their playoff series against the Orlando Magic in protest at the police shooting of Jacob Blake earlier this week.
Blake was shot in the back by police, apparently in front of his children, on Sunday, and his family say he is now paralyzed from the waist down. The shooting occurred in Kenosha, Washington, which is 40 miles from Milwaukee.
