If what we've seen so far is any indication of what to expect from NBA players this season, there probably won't be as much controversy as there has been in the NFL.
Prior to Tuesday's tip-off, the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks all locked arms together during the national anthem as their form of protesting against social injustice.

The exact reasons for locking arms aren't known yet, but there doesn't seem to be any player looking to take a knee like we've seen from Colin Kaepernick.
