The NBA’s trouble in China has followed it back to the US.
Protesters in the stands at the Nets-Raptors preseason game at Barclays Center in Brooklyn donned t-shirts reading “We stand with Hong Kong.”
The Nets were embroiled in the controversy with their preseason games against the Rockets in China days after Houston GM Daryl Morey tweeted a pro-Hong Kong meme. In the weeks since, the NBA has seen its relationship with the basketball-mad country turn testy.
The protest at the Nets’ preseason finale is peaceful, according to The Post’s Brian Lewis, with no one being ejected from the building.
