Nnaji and his family’s foundation opened a basketball facility in the Enugu state of Nigeria. There is a pair of courts, complete with benches and covered bleachers, murals of the Nnaji family and a building that appears to house a library, a locker room and bathrooms. There are four more courts and STEM programs are in the works, Nnaji said Monday.

While we try to keep it light and fun down here, Aaron Gordon waded into the unfortunate side of social media last week.

Gordon tweeted three thumbs-down emojis in response to the NBA fining Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards for homophobic statements made in an Instagram video. Gordon deleted that tweet in addition to a follow-up wondering how his tweet could be deemed homophobic.

Gordon said Monday he tweeted before he had all the information and said the fine was appropriate.
