Turkish basketball player Enes Kanter's Portland Trail Blazers reached the ...

ANKARA - Turkish basketball player Enes Kanter’s Portland Trail Blazers reached the NBA’s Western Conference finals, which start on Tuesday, but for the first time the series will not be widely televised in Turkey, where he is accused of having terrorist links.

S Sport, the main TV broadcaster of National Basketball Association games in Turkey, will not show the conference final between the Blazers and defending champion Golden State Warriors, the company and two of its commentators confirmed on Tuesday. “I can say clearly that we will not be broadcasting the Warriors-Blazers series,” S Sport commentator Omer Sarac told Reuters. “Furthermore, if Portland makes it to the finals, will not be broadcast either,” he said.An executive at S Sport, which is widely available on Turkish cable, characterized this as an agreement with NBA TV and confirmed it would only broadcast the eastern conference final between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks.

The National Basketball Players Association backed Kanter this month after the league’s official Turkish Twitter account removed his statistics following an earlier win over the Nuggets.
