The blizzard is affecting everyone in New York, especially those trying to get home. The Nets, who blew a late lead in a loss at Atlanta on Sunday night, were unable to fly back after the game or on Monday morning due to the historic snowstorm, a source confirmed to The Post. With the snow still coming down in the city, the Nets practiced in Atlanta on Monday and planned to fly out Tuesday morning — just hours before they face the Mavericks at Barclays Center at 7:30 p.m.

Democrats outnumber Republicans about four-to-one among American NBA players
It’s not nearly as one-sided as the WNBA, but the NBA player base is undoubtedly Democrat-leaning. In a sample of 170 players in the 2024-25 season out of approximately 430 voting-eligible, there are 73 Democrats, 76 independents, 17 Republicans, and four affiliating with other political parties. The 32.9 percentage-point margin between the two major parties is smaller than in the other leagues examined thus far, but the political leanings of independents would need to be strongly Republican to eliminate this gap. Again, demography explains the partisan leaning of the player base here. The vast majority of the NBA is black, and young black men have historically been a strong constituency for the Democratic Party despite recent slippage. This also meant the league was a natural home for Black Lives Matter activism, including a strike during the playoffs after the killing of Jacob Blake. In Trump’s first term the champion Warriors (twice) and Raptors both did not visit the White House, effectively the first time players and the President collectively refused to participate in the tradition. Although the league saw the Big Four player to come out as gay in Jason Collins, the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder did not hold a Pride Night last season, and the league has had its fair share of controversies over gay slurs.
