The National Basketball Players Association released an extensive update on the "Current Social Crisis" on Wednesday.

"The NBPA watched and was inspired by the number of players organizing, protesting and challenging the long-ignored injustices resulting from systemic racism in general and police misconduct in particular," writes the NBPA. "As we highlighted all of their great work on our platforms and provided tangible support for their efforts, the NBPA simultaneously worked to identify and target specific ways we could invest in changing the structures that govern us."

The NBPA performed an internal review and 65 percent of its staff are people of color and 40 percent are women. The NBPA will continue to invest in training and support designed to further adhere to the principles of inclusion and diversity. 

"The NBPA will deepen its commitment to social justice by increasing our support for similar organizations that are focused on ending police brutality, addressing voter suppression and supporting economic development," writes the NBPA. "We will continue to match players’ philanthropic contributions and will work to develop a leadership education series to support player efforts to advance justice.

"We are actively preparing and soliciting proposals regarding ways Players competing in the games in Orlando can effectively continue their advocacy on the national stage occasioned by the games.

"Finally, the NBPA has and continues to be in discussion with the League and teams regarding actions our members urge be taken as well as prospective joint social justice engagements."

The NBPA also indicated that they "are here to protect, support and amplify our members and their voices. We remain committed to that mission as players continue to use their platforms to fight for justice in their local communities, across the country and around the world."
