The Dallas Mavericks have ceased playing the national anthem before home games at the American Airlines Center, owner
Mark Cuban confirmed on Tuesday.
Cuban told ESPN he made the change after consulting with NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver. The team managed to play 13 regular and preseason games before the change was widely reported.
Silver stopped enforcing NBA rules requiring players to stand for the anthem in 2020 as part of a wider effort to implement reforms incorporating social-justice messaging into NBA activities. The association painted the words “Black Lives Matter” on the floor of the venue where games began last year, and also began allowing players to wear messages related to the movement on their jerseys.
