Victor Wembanyama says that “PR tried” to stop him from speaking about ICE.
I’m not surprised, because while working on a story that will be released tomorrow, the PWHL denied me permission to speak to someone who wanted to talk to me about the violence in Minnesota.

The NBA is ‘postponing’ to try to sidestep the issue. Acting like this is some kind of natural disaster.
Nothing is going to change tomorrow.
It’s still essential that the teams strike.
