Michael Porter Jr.’s tweets on George Floyd spark criticism from several NBA players

Michael Porter Jr. said the viral video of a white Minneapolis police officer pinning George Floyd to the ground drew tears to his eyes. “That is murder,” Porter tweeted earlier this week. The Nuggets rookie later encouraged his followers to “pray” for both the Floyd family and the police officers involved in the killing – a message that drew Porter a substantial amount of backlash, including from some fellow NBA players. “As hard as it is, pray for them instead of hate them,” his now-viral message read. As much as you pray for George family, gotta also pray for the police officer(s) who were involved in this evil.
