The Kings and the Nuggets joined together before Thursday’s game to show their support for Ukraine and Ukrainian players after Russia’s recent invasion of the country.
Players from both teams linked arms, amplifying a message of “NO WAR”. Kings center Alex Len is a native of Ukraine. Earlier on Thursday, Len and Raptors wing Svi Mykhailiuk posted a joint statement concerning the recent attacks on their country.
“A great tragedy befell our dear homeland Ukraine. We categorically condemn the war... We pray for our families, friends, relatives and all people who are in the territory of Ukraine.
