Per Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Barnaky stood with his hand over his heart and eyes closed.
Barnaky has worked as an NBA referee since the 2009-10 season, per Basketball-Reference. The 45-year-old worked as a college ref for a decade prior to the jump to the pros.
Per the National Basketball Referees Association, Barnaky worked as a civil trial lawyer prior to becoming an NBA official. The NBRA noted that he still works pro bono for "public-at-large clients in need of legal services."
Others who stood for the anthem during the restart include San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, Spurs assistant Becky Hammon and Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac.

Having to explain why you stand for ourflag and National Anthem?
Amazing!
My thoughts exactly!
Exactly.
Leftist Bizarro world where you have to explain honoring flag and country.
Have to believe the real ‘foreign interference’ is supporting BLM and other anti-American forces within our own country to weaken us as a nation. Rather than a war, just conquer us with our own divisions and stupidity.

Surprisingly.
Exactly. Normalcy now requires explanation.
Clown World.
He might not be able to get back up without help. He’s very far left.
Shame on Luke Walton.
That’s almost verbatim what I was going to say. Dems have sure F’d America up... For now anyway.
Luke Walton can go straight to ....
Oh, is Popovich trying to walk it back now? Too late Jack.
Filthy stinking thugs. I despise them all. They belong on a Somali pirate ship.
Millionaire Prima Donnas complaining about how unjust our country is. /I spit in their face.
I think it’s a matter of he’s already paid in on BLM so he’s working to keep some credibility with clueless centrists.
You expressed the first thought that came to my mind.
This ‘splaining stuff is getting on my nerves.
I’m saying bad knees.
Please point out the person whose life doesn't matter. In my world, all lives matter.
Even if someone is found guilty of a heinous crime we'll take care of that.
I forget, to my disgrace, that I neither remember the name or the city where a gal was shot dead for calling out "ALL LIVES MATTER".
But I know how to search.
Maybe we should put up a statue of her?
Here's a start: Jessica Doty-Whitaker Shot & Killed After ‘All Lives Matter’ Argument: Family
The black guy who stood is outselling jerseys of all except one right now..probably lebron
Also,I tuned in to an NHL game on TV last night.I quickly saw a BLM banner and within milliseconds of spotting it I tuned out.
Three seconds of my life wasted.
Nice, good for him.
I never would have imagined the day when you have to explain why you’re standing for the national anthem.
It would show some courage and possibly draw some media attention if a player wore a shirt that says “Black lives don’t matter more than anyone else’s.”
It would be funny to thus bait the media and see how many would show cameras on only the first four words. Possibly another Nick Sandman moment.
