The NBA website removed the term "occupied territories" from its website after it caused outrage among Israelis and after Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport Miri Regev contacted NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to complain.

 

NBA spokesman Michael Bass apologized for the use of the term saying: "This is not our stance, the term was written by a third party and we regret this."
