Members of the Portland Trail Blazers formed a "circle of unity" during the U.S. national anthem Sunday.
Damian Lillard told reporters earlier in the week that the team would be staging some sort of demonstration for social change during the upcoming season, assuring media that he'd "come up with something."
The Blazers aren't the only team to protest as a group, as players and coaches of the Toronto Raptors linked arms during both the Canadian and American anthems Saturday.
