The Gateway Pundit Reports: The NBA went woke a few years ago, embracing Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd.

Now that might be catching up with them.

Despite Janet Yellen’s recent claim that the United States is doing great economically, the NBA is freezing all new spending and hiring and blaming the economy for the decision.

The NBA might be bracing for some financial troubles.

NBA officials instructed league office staff to cut spending and limit hiring due to “economic headwinds” for the rest of the year, according to a memo from executives Kyle Cavanaugh and David Haber obtained by the New York Times.



The memo claims the NBA is “facing a very different economic reality than just one year ago. We are seeing significant challenges to achieving our revenue budget with additional downside risk still in front of us.”
