It's a new development on a story "Nightline"  first covered back in 2010, when we traveled to Uganda to investigate a pending law, dubbed the "Kill the Gays" bill, which had ignited a firestorm of criticism in the United States.

When it was introduced in the Ugandan legislature, the bill demanded severe punishment, including death, for anyone discovered to be gay - even children. Lively had gone to Uganda and met with policymakers there months before the bill was introduced.

Lively did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

The team has suffered several losses, the coach quit and star forward Carmelo Anthony seems frustrated, Forbes reports.

To refresh your memory, here's ABC's John Berman's piece about (Lin)sanity in the heat of the hype:
