NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2017 – NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released the following statement regarding the Golden State Warriors not being invited to visit the White House:
“I was in favor of the team visiting the White House and thought it was a rare opportunity for these players to share their views directly with the President.
