The NBA released its regular season schedule on Wednesday, but one date players and coaches will not be on the court is election night.
but one date players and coaches will not be on the court is election night.
“Anytime an organization as big as the NBA makes a socially conscious decision just to make sure to encourage voting, encourage voter participation, I think is great,” said Etheridge. “I think it sends a message that election day is sacred and that it’s an important time.”This is not the first time the NBA has made a move to encourage voter turnout. In 2020, many NBA arenas, including the AT&T Center, were used as polling locations for the first time.
Etheridge said this also speaks to promoting voters’ rights and removing barriers. The league also appeals to a younger voter fan base. In the next few months, NBA teams will get the word out about the voter registration process, state deadlines and guidelines. Before election night, every NBA team will play a game with a message to promote civic engagement and encourage fans and staff to vote.“We’re really excited for this Nov. 8 election, and it’s going to be a sacred time,” said Etheridge. “San Antonio voters understand the importance of engaging in the electoral process.
