On Saturday, Howard released a statement in support of Kyrie, noting that we need to fight for social change before thinking about basketball again. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, this differing of opinions has not caused a divide in the locker room. In fact, two players said everyone is talking it out and looking for solutions.
