After the Warriors coach offered a “no comment” on the NBA's latest controversy involving China and Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, Trump took a dig at Kerr during a press conference Wednesday.
Kerr said he did not know enough about the political dynamic at play to offer his normally eloquent view of current events, so he preferred not to comment.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver backed up Morey's right to speak out on issues such as the people of Hong Kong's fight for democracy, and he said the NBA would live with any business consequences that stem from that.
