The Portland Trail Blazers will wear black socks Sunday night for Game 4 against the Houston Rockets as 'a sign of unity' against the alleged racist remarks from Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

According to Joe Freeman of The Oregonian, the movement was organized by LaMarcus Aldridge.

"I wanted to do something to support our brothers," Aldridge said.

Point guard Earl Watson echoed the sentiment of his teammate: "We wanted to show our league is unified."
