Two hours after new minority owner Joe Tsai agreed with a Jeremy Lin fan that the Nets Twitter account had dissed Lin and his philanthropic efforts, the Nets apologized Sunday.
The controversy revolved around the Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s injury at Lin’s “Hoops for Hope” event in Shenzhen, China, last weekend. The Nets failed to mention the charity game, in which Tsai played, when discussing the injury. That angered many of the former Net’s fans.
Apologies for not calling out @JLin7 by handle. As you pointed out, our guys were in China to support Jeremy's philanthropic efforts there.
