NBA returns to China after more than 5 years - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

THE National Basketball Association (NBA) is returning to China next season, striking a deal to play preseason games there more than five years after the league was effectively banned over Commissioner Adam Silver not punishing Daryl Morey for tweeting support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong.

That was followed by China publicly thanking the NBA in February 2020—when what became the Covid-19 pandemic was in its earliest days—for sending more than $1 million in medical supplies to assist coronavirus relief efforts there.

The timing of the tweet was particularly awkward, given that the Nets and Los Angeles Lakers were in China at the time for two games.
