Sources say the magnitude of this moment was the focus of a Wednesday conference call between NBA general managers and league officials, with Commissioner Adam Silver confirming that there will be no discipline for anyone who peacefully protests. For approximately an hour, with Silver joined by the NBA’s president of league operations Byron Spruell and senior vice president David Weiss on the call, they discussed the sensitivities surrounding this situation and the question of whether GMs who are already inside the bubble would be permitted to leave the stands and join their teams on the court as a sign of support. Several GMs left the call with the impression that they are free to do as they choose, with anyone who is part of each team’s traveling party inside the bubble permitted to be on the floor.
