Oakland (United States) (AFP) - NBA officials are looking at moving next year's All-Star Game from Charlotte in the wake of a North Carolina law stripping discrimination protections from the gay and transgender community.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver, speaking just before the opening game of the NBA Finals between Golden State and Cleveland, said Thursday that alternate sites are being studied and a decision is needed by September.
"We are looking at alternatives," Silver said. "We are in the process of looking at other options. At the same time, we would be moving on if I didn't think there were constructive discussions going on.
