Why Warriors coach Steve Kerr is staying out of China-NBA debate

For now, Warriors coach Steve Kerr is sticking to sports when it comes to commenting on Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey.

Kerr, arguably the most socially conscious coach in professional sports, hesitated Monday night to jump into the international debate created by Morey’s tweet about China that also compromised the NBA’s massive business interests in that country.

When asked if he had a reaction to Morey’s tweet supporting Hong Kong protesters in their ongoing battle with the Chinese government, Kerr took a pass.

“Actually, I don’t,” Kerr told the assembled media members at the Warriors’ open practice at Chase Center Monday.
