The Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Aces both had their Thursday night games postponed as the NHL and the WNBA joined MLB and the NBA in protesting racial injustice, this time over the shooting by police of an unarmed black man, Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, WI earlier this week. The Knights second round playoff series against Vancouver is tied 1-1 and game three has been rescheduled for Saturday at 6:45pm with game four set for Sunday at 7:30pm. Playoff games tonight between Boston and Tampa Bay, and Colorado and Dallas have been postponed. The Aces were scheduled to play first place Seattle last night. The WNBA may resume games today. The Aces next scheduled game is Saturday against New York.
