PHILADELPHIA — Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue and 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey aren’t holding back in their war of words.
The two have had a back-and-forth over the last several days with Lue taking a swipe Monday night at Morey’s tweet from Oct. 4, 2019, as the Houston Rockets general manager. In the message, Morey supported protestors in favor of democracy in Hong Kong. It was a tweet that strained the NBA’s relationship with China and led to lost revenue for the league.
It all started Friday night when the Sixers beat the Clippers, 122-97, in Los Angeles. James Harden went 11 for 11 from the foul line and Joel Embiid finished 7 for 8. Lue was asked about their free-throw prowess before the game.
