The national anthem singer at the Nets’ home opener took a knee at the end of her performance.

Justine Skye was nearing the completion of the song Friday night when she went to one knee for the finish. There were some cheers, but appeared to be more boos from the crowd at Barclays Center to see the Nets play the Magic.

Skye, a R&B artist from Brooklyn, posted a video of the scene on her Instagram account later Friday, explaining her motivation for joining in the movement to protest racial injustice in America. The 22-year-old said she felt obligated to act despite the potential consequences.

“Got a bit shaky at the end.. was pretty uneasy about singing the anthem and probably won’t ever be invited to sing it again but I had to take a knee for the opening game in my city and let my voice be heard,” Skye wrote. “We will not be silenced. #blacklivesmatter”

NBA players have continued to stand during the playing of the anthems, as required by league rule.
