The Houston Rockets have always been popular in China since the days of Yao Ming, but over the weekend, that relationship has had a fallout following a picture posted by Daryl Morey that was in support of the Hong Kong protestors, which has been followed by a ban of the team in the country.
Interesting situation going on with Rockets GM, Daryl Morey, right now:
– Morey tweeted support for Hong Kong.
– Rockets owner, Tilman Fertitta, quickly distanced the team from the tweet, which has a big Chinese fanbase.
