Giannis Antetokounmpo said on Monday that he will have "Equality" written on the back of his jersey during the restarted NBA season in Orlando, per
Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
The NBA announced earlier it will let players put messages related to social justice on their jerseys, helping them use their platform for change amid worldwide protests against racial injustice. The league and NBPA agreed upon a limited list of options, including "Black Lives Matter," "I Can't Breath," and "Say Her Name."
The Milwaukee Bucks' star will participate as he continues to use his platform to discuss social issues. Giannis has spoken about injustice on social media and took part in a protest in Milwaukee last month along with teammates.
"We want change, we want justice, and that's why we're out here," he told a crowd in June, per
Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"That's what we're going to do today. That's why I'm going to march with you."
