A Philadelphia 76ers fan was ejected from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Oct. 8 after voicing support for Hong Kong, the latest in the saga involving the NBA and China.

Sam Wachs and his wife were sitting about five rows from courtside holding signs with messages about Hong Kong. One stated “Free Hong Kong” and the other read “Free HK.”
