America’s professional basketball league said Wednesday that teams will have to play the National Anthem before games, after a Texas-based franchise stopped playing the song.

“With NBA teams now in the process of welcoming fans back into their arenas, all teams will play the national anthem in keeping with longstanding league policy,” the NBA’s chief communications officer, Mike Bass, said in a statement.
