Report: Lakers-Nets will go on in China ‘as of now’

Stadium signage has been removed and players reportedly are growing uneasy with playing games amid growing tensions in China, where the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are scheduled to play today.

As of early yesterday evening, though, “all indications” were that the game would be played, according to sources of Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. The teams also are scheduled to play Saturday.

An event in Shanghai scheduled for yesterday to benefit the Special Olympics featuring the Lakers was canceled hours before it was to begin.
