Echoing the statement from the union, Spurs forward Julian Champagnie said he "stands with" protestors in Minneapolis and decried the violence plaguing the city. "It is an unfortunate situation that's going on over there and across the whole states with the violence," Champagnie, the team's alternate union representative, said. "I don't really get too much into politics and stuff. I'm not the biggest guy with that, but I don't think that people should be dying. That's kind of where I stand with it, and I stand with those people. That's really all I have to say about it. It's just a tough situation all around, but I think the violence is the main thing that has to stop."

On Thursday night, when his Washington Wizards host the Denver Nuggets, he will play in his 125th consecutive regular-season NBA game. Streaks like Carrington’s don’t happen often. He owns the NBA’s fourth-longest active consecutive games streak, trailing only the New York Knicks’ Mikal Bridges and the San Antonio Spurs’ Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie, according to Sportradar.
