Nets' Tsai: NBA in a 'good place' with China

Nets owner Joe Tsai said the NBA is "in a very good place" in its relationship with China, four years after Beijing took games off air following remarks about the 2019 Hong Kong protests by Daryl Morey, who at the time was GM of the Rockets. At a sports convention in Macau today, Tsai said the league and China, home to 300 million NBA fans, "have mended their relationship" and the NBA would "love" to bring the games back to China and Macau. Tsai: "I think just having the fans have real, in-person sort of interaction with the stars. I think that's going to be important." The NBA used to organize pre-season games in China before the 2019 incident, "but these have yet to resume" (REUTERS, 2/23).
