"Without a doubt, he has deeply offended many Chinese basketball fans. Morey has clarified that his stance on this issue does not represent either Houston Rockets or the NBA.

We also hope that sports and the NBA, as a unified source of positive energy, can continue to build bridges between countries and bring people together. "
