Some NBA players like Kyle Korver and Sterling Brown; Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic; Anthony Tolliver, the union’s secretary-treasurer; Marco Belinelli; and Michele Roberts, executive director of the players union are at the Vatican this morning for a private audience for Pope Francis.<\/p>\n

The delegation will discuss with the Pope NBA work on social justice issues.<\/p>\n

The union agreed and quickly scheduled an overnight flight Sunday to make their private meeting with the Pope, which began at 11:45 a.m. local time Monday morning at the Vatican.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
