Boston Celtics games blocked in China after NBA player Enes Kanter's comments on Tibet

Chinese broadcaster and NBA partner Tencent has blocked Boston Celtics games on its platforms after comments from Celtics centre Enes Kanter advocating Tibetan independence.

Kanter, as part of a series of social media posts, also called Chinese President Xi Jinping a "dictator." Kanter did not play in Boston's season-opening 138-134 loss to New York on Wednesday night local time.

The game was not shown on the streaming services that typically broadcast most NBA games to millions in China.

The NBA had no immediate comment and the Celtics did not practice Thursday local time. It was also not immediately clear how long Tencent plans not to air the Celtics.

Kanter was wearing shoes emblazoned with the words "Free Tibet" during Wednesday night's game.
