One down, three to go. The Brooklyn Nets opened up the preseason schedule with a 48 point win against Sesi Franca of Brazil on Friday night at Barclays Center. The Nets will be here for the next two games before going home to Brooklyn. Where is here, you may ask? Why China, of course!
After days of back-and-forth recriminations over Rocket GM Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting Hong Kong protesters, Shams Charania reported at 7:36 p.m. ET that the game apparently is on.
As of now, all indications are that the Lakers/Nets game in China on Thursday will go on as scheduled, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
