Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose wore a black “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt during warmups before playing the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.
The shirt refers to a New York man who died July 17 after a police officer placed him in a chokehold when he was being arrested for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
A grand jury decided it would not indict the officer in Eric Garner’s death. Thousands have protested the grand jury decision around the country since the announcement of the decision on Wednesday.
It is not known if Rose will face any penalty from the NBA. Players are required to wear apparel of Adidas, the league’s official outfitter.
