After a few days of protest by the players in the NBA and NHL due to a police shooting involving an African American in 29 year old Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin last Sunday, play is scheduled to resume on Saturday.
The Boston Bruins will resume their second round series at 12 noon Saturday with the Tampa Bay Lightning, trailing the best of seven series 2-1. The Boston Celtics will begin their second round series with the defending world champion Toronto Raptors on Sunday at 1 p.m.
