The NBA playoffs will resumed after players sat out in protest of racial injustice and violence against Black people. The momentum started when the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the floor after the police shooing of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Plus, Al Roker returns to the Today Show studios after five months to cover Hurricane Laura.
