Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 3301126, member: 1052"] It is not guaranteed that Han Xu will even play in the WNBA next year. First, China has yet to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics. If China qualifies, she might stay home -- as other international players have done -- for preparation with her national team. And there is also the matter of the now strained relations between China and the NBA... [I]NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league is already dealing with "fairly dramatic" financial consequences from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey's support of Hong Kong's anti-government protesters. "The losses have already been substantial," Silver said at the Time 100 Summit, in his first public comments about the NBA's relationship with China since he returned to the U.S. from China earlier this week. "Our games are not back on the air in China as we speak, and we'll see what happens next. "I don't know where we go from here. The financial consequences have been and may continue to be fairly dramatic."
