Different issues, different reasons.
Some of them are joining the Black Lives Matter movement like this one.

Some have issues the way management of Disney World is doing things.
Security, test, and staff. Those kinds of issues.

They all agree back in March and April until George Floyd's questionable death in the street.
Some players are shaken and others are trying to be in the middle of the racism issue.

Thanks for the clarification, man. But I don't see any report against the implementation of it except Portland who might be against the 22 teams, and prefer 20 teams to be invited with; instead of Portland (might be because Dame wouldn't play on the remaining 8 games Huh

). More over, there were protest as you mentioned, that is on-going issue about "Black Lives Matter" have in US Undecided

.

Talk about the protest, I stumble upon this latest statement about Howard.
And here's what I got:

"I agree with Kyrie (Irving). Basketball, or entertainment period, isn’t needed at this moment, and will only be a distraction. "I agree with Kyrie (Irving). Basketball, or entertainment period, isn’t needed at this moment, and will only be a distraction..."

TLDR, it seems he agree with Kyrie's voice out. Problem is that, the league had decided to resume the game having the all votes except Portland (Dunno about their certain reason than 20 teams, it ain't plausible though). Either way, July 30, IMO would be clearly a resume of the game no matter how against the several players are with such ideology.
