Statement from Milwaukee Bucks Owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens and Jamie Dinan
MILWAUKEE (Aug. 26, 2020) – We fully support our players and the decision they made. Although we did not know beforehand, we would have wholeheartedly agreed with them. The only way to bring about change is to shine a light on the racial injustices that are happening in front of us. Our players have done that and we will continue to stand alongside them and demand accountability and change.
