Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving wore T-shirts with “I Can’t Breathe” on them while warming up for Monday night’s game at the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets’ Jarrett Jack, Alan Anderson, Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett also wore the T-shirts.

“I can’t breathe” were the last words of Eric Garner, who died in July after a confrontation with an New York Police Department officer. The incident was caught on tape and sparked national outrage.

At this time, he NBA will not fine any of the players who have worn the T-shirts, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports’ Sam Amick. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.
