Dec. 09--LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are among the latest professional athletes to wear "I Can't Breathe" T-shirts in tribute to Eric Garner, following Derrick Rose's example Saturday.
NFL players Reggie Bush, Johnson Bademosi and Davin Joseph all wore Garner's last words prior to their games Sunday.
In addition to James and Irving, Brooklyn Nets players Kevin Garnett, Deron Williams, Jarrett Jack and Alan Anderson also sported the shirts before a game Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton were expected to attend.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver spoke with the AP's Brian Mahoney on the matter.
Adam Silver supports players voicing their opinions with " I Can't Breathe" shirts, but preference would be to abide by oncourt attire rules
