LeBron James declined to come out in support of the protesters in Hong Kong in his first public comments about a post on Twitter that an NBA general manager made earlier this month that set off an international crisis.
Daryl Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets, wrote on Twitter, “Stand with Hong Kong.” The NBA’s Chinese partners began suspending relations with the league and a number of people in the league have refused to come out in support of Morey, including Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Rockets star James Harden.
