China is in a snit over criticism of its human rights record from Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter, so it has blocked highlights of the team's games from the Chinese internet.

Kanter posted a video on social media voicing his support for Tibet and calling Chinese President Xi Jinping a “brutal dictator.”

China has a history of intimidating political dissidents and religious leaders in Tibet, supposedly an autonomous region of China.

 

Simmons to Meet With Team's Leadership Today

Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard Ben Simmons is expected to meet with the team's leadership today.

Simmons requested a trade four months ago and has shown little enthusiasm for his job since. Most recently, he got thrown out of a practice session and barred from this week's 76ers game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

He is officially listed as “doubtful” for tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
