The Clippers and Raptors join several other NBA clubs in linking arms during the anthem this preseason, including the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Denver Nuggets.
Teams across several sports and leagues - most predominantly the NFL - have engaged in anthem protests to show solidarity in the movement started by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who began taking a knee last year to protest racial injustice and police brutality in America.
