NBA players made history on Wednesday, led by the Milwaukee Bucks, as they engaged in a strike of the day’s scheduled playoff games. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers joined the Bucks and Orlando Magic, in striking their games and the NBA quickly followed suit by temporarily postponing today’s games. After this, of course, comes the next steps, which still need to be decided.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe reported on Wednesday that every player currently inside the bubble has been invited to a player’s only meeting to discuss what they will do moving forward.
Every NBA player is invited to join the meeting in The Bubble at 8 PM to discuss how they'll proceed from today's boycotts, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me.

The Bucks were the first team to strike as they never even took the court for their scheduled Game 5 against the Orlando Magic. A few minutes later, the Thunder and Rockets both agreed that they would also not play in their game. It appears that with tonight’s meeting, there will be more clarity on the fate of the Orlando Bubble.
