The New Orleans Pelicans wore yellow socks during the win over the Sacramento Kings in order to show solidarity with Ukraine and to bring more attention to the large-scale invasion of the country by the Russian military.
Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas was vocal since the start of the war and he commented on the situation once again.
“As we talked last time, it’s a big mess. We’re just trying to bring more attention. The enemy is still out there. Innocent people are still dying. The whole world is talking about sanctions, support, prayers — but something else has to be done because the war is still going on,” Valanciunas said.
“It’s been a tough seven days now. Every time looking at your phone and seeing what’s going on out there — it’s shocking.”
