Use tonight as a boycott/tribute, let people talk about it, and get back on the court before you have to start doing some detailed explanation/expectation.
I'd be very surprised if the Raptors and Celtics played tomorrow based on how a few of their players were talking yesterday.

Yep raps were the first team to talk about a boycott.

While true, who do you think they’re looking to when they now ask “what’s next?”

NBA basketball wasn't meant to be played in July, August and September because it competes with the start of NFL training camps, NFL pre-season, the College Season and of course, Major League Baseball.
There are no metric in which to compare NBA ratings in August and September, so saying that they're "down" is meaningless.

And still engaging in it even after having to release the bodycam video that exposed their cop for what he was.

(Just a guess...) they may postpone today's games until tomorrow and move it all back a day. There is a meeting scheduled tonight.

Half of those things aren't happening. And MLB starts in April in normal years.
