Although Russian clubs have been indefinitely barred by FIBA from participating in European competitions, play in the domestic VTB United League and Russian Basketball Super League 1 continues. In some cases, I’m told, six-figure bonuses are being offered to American stars to come back. That, of course, leads to further complicated questions.

A far weightier matter: What are the broader moral implications amid calls, as expertly laid out by my fellow Substacker Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for Russian teams and athletes to be banned from all worldwide competition to increase public pressure on Putin? Then there is maybe the scariest question: How can any American player’s safety be assured after the recent airport arrest and detention of WNBA star Brittney Griner?
