The Magic followed the Bucks lead and boycotted their game as well refusing to take the forfeit. The Thunder and Rockets followed suit and also decided to boycott their game. And while the Lakers and Blazers were discussing what to do with their game the NBA made the decision for them. The Celtics vs Raptors game tomorrow looks doubtful.
NBA players have called for a meeting tonight in Orlando to determine next steps, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

The NBA, owners and front offices didn't see this wave of player boycotts coming today. Hours ago, they all expected to be playing these games tonight. This is a pivot point for the NBA and professional sports in North America.
