Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins watched a televised interview on Friday of Tyre Nichols' mother speaking about the loss of her son, and lost control of his emotions.
"I cried," Jenkins said.
The outrage, frustration, sadness and anger was evident around the NBA on Friday, the day that video was released showing how Nichols, a 29-year-old father, was killed by five Memphis police officers. Several teams released statements of support for the family, as did the National Basketball Players Association.
And the emotions around the league were palpable, as has been the case so many times after so many other incidents of violence by police against Black men and women in recent years.
"This is just crazy," said Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, who opened his pregame news conference Friday by speaking about Nichols before any questions were even asked.
The officers, who are also Black, all face second-degree murder charges, as well as charges of aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. And the Grizzlies played a game in Minneapolis -- the city where George Floyd, a Black man, was killed after a white police officer pressed his knee on Floyd's neck in an act that sparked protests worldwide over police brutality and racism -- on Friday night with heavy hearts.
"The senseless loss of life for Tyre Nichols has really hit us hard," Jenkins told Bally Sports, the Grizzlies' broadcast partner, in a pregame interview from Minnesota. "It's been tough being on the road, not being home. I wish I could extend my arms through this camera right now to the family. They're going through a lot."
There was a moment of silence before the game in Minnesota. Several teams, including Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minnesota and Milwaukee, released statements.
"We are outraged by the deadly beating that Tyre Nichols received from five Memphis police officers," the Bucks said in their statement. "While the police officers being charged for their heinous actions is an important step for justice, this incident further highlights the need for progress in improving police-community relations."
Nichols was on his way home from taking pictures of the sky on Jan. 7, when police pulled him over. He was just a few minutes from the home he shared with his mother and stepfather.
Video of the killing was released Friday evening. It was not immediately clear if the Grizzlies viewed the video before their game.
"Our hearts go out to the entire Memphis community as they are processing and dealing with this horrible tragedy, and we stand by the rightful arrest of all officers involved," the NBPA said. "Such aggressive policing and excessive force illustrate the continued need for accountability in the justice system."
The union said it would "continue to monitor the investigation and legal proceedings in search of justice for Tyre and his family."
Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells, warned supporters of the "horrific" nature of the video but pleaded for peace.
Jenkins also said he hopes citizens of Memphis rally around one another.
"My words will only mean so much," Jenkins said. "I want to continue to encourage people to put their arms around each other, put their arms around the Nichols family, the Wells family to remember a beautiful life in Tyre Nichols -- who I did not know, but I'm learning about."
