New on SI: NBA Stars Having Selected Social Justice Jersey Messages

Rudy Gobert, CJ McCollum, Among NBA Stars Having Selected Social Justice Jersey Messages

Some of NBA's biggest stars have already chosen a social justice-related message that will be displayed on the back of their jerseys at the start of the NBA's restart this July.

The Undefeated reports that the gesture to put one of the aforementioned messages on jerseys this summer is optional.

A message can be displayed without a player's last name appearing on the back of the jersey during the first four days of the restart. After the first four days, a player can still have a message on their jersey back, but their last name will be beneath.
