The Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks will be the first NBA franchises to participate in basketball games at correctional facilities at an event promoted and organized by the Represent Justice Campaign.

According to Undefeated, NBA players and coaches will serve as honorary coaches of the Play for Justice campaign aimed to break down the stigma of individuals impacted by the criminal justice system.

Other NBA teams are expected to join the campaign that officially begins today, Thursday, in an undisclosed prison of North Carolina. Bucks will attend another event later this month and the two franchises will join on February 10, of next year, at an event in Milwaukee.

“We’re proud to be the first participant in the Play for Justice initiative, which is shining a bright light on the unique issues facing incarcerated people in communities around the country,” said Vivek Ranadivé, chairman, CEO, and governor of the Kings to the Undefeated. “Sports franchises have a unique opportunity to bring about positive change, which is why in the past year, the Kings and the Bucks brought together leaders from across two cities to share best practices and find new solutions to social injustices. This collaboration with Represent Justice is another example of how we can use our platforms for good.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s team will attend an event in Wisconsin and Nike plans to donate sneakers to incarcerated players and campaign participants. Bucks guards Sterling Brown and George Hill will represent the Milwaukee franchise:

“My teammates, coaches and I are honored to take part in this unique criminal justice initiative to hear the stories of our community members and the challenges they face on a daily basis,” said Brown, who curiously has a civil suit against the city of Milwaukee after police officers used a stun gun and arrested him on January 26, 2018, for double parking in a handicap accessible location at a Walgreens. “We are looking forward to sharing in this experience with them while also identifying how we can further this important conversation nationwide through basketball.”

This is not the first time that Bucks and Kings have partnered in an activist and social partnership. Both teams participated in last February in the first Team Up For Change summit in Sacramento, California, to encourage the body of community leaders and promote the fight against social injustice. Bucks will host the second edition of the summit in Milwaukee in February 2020.
