As the Nets hard-fought game with the Warriors drew to a close, YES Network cameras caught Joe Tsai, about to become the Nets minority owner (and heir apparent), talking with Kenny Atkinson. Later, Tsai, a Taiwanese-Canadian citizen, was seen talking to Jeremy Lin, who’s of Taiwanese parentage and who Tsai has described as “my favorite player.”
Tsai and his wife were seen speaking with other Nets players as well.
Tsai, who has a home in LaJolla, California, sat courtside near the Nets bench with his family. It’s at least the third time he’s been seen at a Nets game since agreeing in principle to purchase 49.
