An NBA team has been wiped in China without explanation after just one “ridiculous” tweet that has triggered a swift response.

Kanter on Thursday slammed Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “brutal dictator” and declared that “Tibet belongs to the Tibetan people”, risking reigniting tensions between Beijing and the NBA.

A handful of confused fans asked on Tencent’s website and Weibo social media page why the streams were pulled. The fallout from that crisis continues, with Tencent no longer streaming games involving the Philadelphia 76ers, where Morey is now the president of basketball operations. Tencent had previously banned the Rockets before Morey moved from Houston to Philadelphia.

But human rights campaigners and exiles have accused China of religious repression, torture, forced sterilisation and cultural erosion through forced re-education. The message accompanied a three-minute video of Kanter wearing a T-shirt of the Dalai Lama and criticising Chinese rule in the region.
