Miami Heat swingman Justise Winslow and Philadelphia 76ers forward Jerami Grant appeared to respond to Wednesday's national-anthem controversy at the Sixers' home opener.
Winslow tweeted out this photo Thursday night of the two posing, fists raised. The caption quotes the words emblazoned on black singer Sevyn Streeter's shirt Wednesday evening, which got her pulled from her slated anthem performance.

On Friday, the Sixers issued a public apology and invited Streeter to come back and sing the anthem at a game of her choice. The team cited "feedback from our players" among its reasons for disavowing the decision.
