Three Major League Baseball games were postponed on Wednesday as players across the sports landscape reacted in the wake of police shooting Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin over the weekend.

The postponements came after the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks didn't come out on the floor for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series with the Orlando Magic. NBA officials later announced that all three of the day's scheduled playoff games had been postponed.
