Chinese state media has slammed National Basketball Association Head Adam Silver’s remarks in apparent support of a tweet by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey supporting pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
The US league has drawn fire from Chinese broadcasters, sponsors and social media after Daryl Morey tweeted a message Friday calling it a Fight for freedom and he stands with Hong Kong. League Commissioner Adam Silver insisted at a press conference in Tokyo yesterday that the league would not apologize and would support freedom of expression.
The NBA Commissioner said, he hoped to discuss the situation with Chinese officials in Shanghai, where the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers are set to play an exhibition game on Thursday. Broadcasters have suspended broadcasts of the NBA pre-season games in China.
