The National Basketball Association has abandoned plans for a promotional event at an Atlanta strip club after facing criticism from one of its own players. The league had been promoting an upcoming event at Magic City, an Atlanta establishment known for adult entertainment and exotic dancing. However, San Antonio Spurs player Luke Kornet publicly challenged the partnership through social media, questioning whether the NBA should associate with such venues.
