Isaac shared,

"It was after the tragic death of George Floyd that we were ushered into the NBA bubble where there was just so much pressure, not even just in the bubble, but just around the world with the rise of the Black Lives Matter organization and movement."

Isaac has been a strong opponent against the woke movement in sports and continues to fight the good battle.

He added, "One of my teammates turned towards me and says, "What are you going to do?" And I said, "Fellas, I'm not going to kneel and I'm not going to wear that t-shirt simply because I have another solution. I don't believe that kneeling for the national anthem or wearing a t-shirt is the same thing as saying that we support black lives. They're not synonymous."
