THE STORY OF the night ended up being the arrest of New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley, after a squabble with Madison Square Garden security. But for NBA commissioner Adam Silver, the Feb. 6 game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Knicks featured one other little issue, quietly hiding on the wrist of the Clippers' starting center.
As the game tipped off, DeAndre Jordan rose high to slap the ball away from Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis. Jordan did so with a black sweatband covering his right wrist. The thing is, Jordan is not someone who historically wears wristbands.
