“Our thoughts are with the city of Houston and all those affected by the flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. The NBA and NBPA have jointly committed $1 million to organizations including the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, American Red Cross, and other non-profit groups working in the Greater Houston area to bring relief to those impacted.”
