The full list of members of the NBA's social justice coalition has been revealed.

Owners Micky Arison of the Miami Heat, Steve Ballmer of the Los Angeles Clippers, Clay Bennett of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Marc Lasry of the Milwaukee Bucks, and Vivek Ranadive of the Sacramento Kings were all named to the newly formed group, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks' Lloyd Pierce and Philadelphia 76ers' Doc Rivers represent head coaches.

Five players - Carmelo Anthony, Avery Bradley, Sterling Brown, Donovan Mitchell, and Karl-Anthony Towns - were previously appointed as members of the group created as part of the ongoing social justice movement.

The coalition will aim to increase access to voting, promote civic engagement, and advocate for meaningful police and criminal justice reform, the NBA and players' association said in a joint statement in August.
