National Basketball Association players are ending their brief boycott of the playoffs after a three-hour meeting, during which Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James voted to abandon the season.

Players from the Milwaukee Bucks led the boycott on Wednesday after Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was shot seven times by Wisconsin police who said he was resisting arrest and reaching into his vehicle, where he had a knife. Players, coaches, and staff across the league joined in the protest, and all three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday were brought to a halt as rumors swirled that the season itself was in jeopardy.
