In an NBA locker room across the world from his native New Zealand, Steven Adams feels the suffering of his countrymen.
Since 50 people were killed by an Australian gunman Friday in a mass shooting at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, Adams and the Thunder have played twice. Adams didn’t speak after the Thunder’s 110-88 loss to Golden State. He almost slipped out the door Monday after the Thunder’s 116-107 loss to Miami.
Adams, one of the most insightful voices in the Thunder locker room, still isn’t one who necessarily welcomes the attention of a media throng.
