Matt Barnes ran away from a reporter who asked if he’d go to the White House

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

There have been reports and denials all week about whether the Warriors would go to the White House if they were invited by President Trump, but Matt Barnes just said it all without saying anything.

During the victory parade on Thursday he was asked if the Warriors would go to the White House — and he just ran. No answer, a brief glance back, then he took off to see some more fans.

You’re not going to get an answer out of Barnes on this one at all. You can take the silence however you like.
