STAND WITH HONG KONG,” read the shirt. A young fan at the Lakers-Clippers game on the NBA’s opening night Tuesday held up a Clippers T-shirt during a dance cam segment, then switched to a Hong Kong protest shirt before the camera could pan away. Chinese state television did not air the NBA’s two opening night games, and the league’s streaming partner, Tencent, cut its schedule and broadcast only the Lakers-Clippers game, ESPN reported. Demonstrators formed a group on Reddit to distribute the protest shirts near the Staples Center before the Lakers-Clippers game, ESPN reported. But only a smattering of them were worn at the game, according to the Los Angeles Times.
