New York (AFP) - NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Friday that a North Carolina law branded discriminatory against transgender people is "problematic," but the league hasn't made plans to move the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte.
"The current state of the law is problematic for the league. But we're not making any announcements now," Silver said Friday as the league's Board of Governors meetings concluded in New York.
"We can be most constructive by working with elected officials to effect change."
The North Carolina law, known as HB2, prohibits local governments within the state from enacting policies protecting the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community at public facilities and restrooms.
