WNBA Friday Night
Atlanta Dream vs Minnesota Lynx
While the WNBA is continuing its season inside the "wubble," social and racial injustice issues remain in focus for the league - especially the Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream.
After the league boycotted games this week, the Lynx and Dream are slated to return to the court and meet for the second time over a six-day span on Friday night at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
In the wake of the police shooting involving 29-year-old Jacob Blake from Kenosha, Wis., and the unrest and violence that followed in the city, the WNBA joined the NBA, plus teams from MLS and Major League Baseball in boycotting games on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Lynx (9-4) were slated to play Los Angele on Wednesday, while the Dream (3-11) were scheduled to face Washington.
