LeBron James weighed in on the controversy between China and the NBA on Monday, saying that Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey “wasn’t educated” when he sent a tweet in support of protesters in Hong Kong this month. “But I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand and he spoke.”Not long after the media session, James took to Twitter to clarify his statements. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet,” James tweeted. “My team and this league just went through a difficult week,” he tweeted on Monday. Could have waited a week to send it.” (Writing by Jahmal Corner in Los Angeles; Editing by Gerry Doyle)
