Multiple NBA teams today refused to participate in their playoff games as a protest and a sign of solidarity over the shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin this week. 2K Sports, which develops the NBA 2K series, has now released a statement on the matter.

In a statement to GameSpot, 2K said it strongly supports the NBA and WNBA players and leagues for taking a stand in support for racial justice.

"We at 2K stand against racial injustice and the continued violence against the Black community," a spokesperson said. "NBA 2K has a strong community. We have been heartened by seeing our community use 2K as a place to congregate and honor movements in their own way."
