Earlier on Tuesday, rumors were circulating that the team will stay away from the White House after harsh criticism leveled at Trump by key team members.

Well, per the NBA’s official website, they haven’t been invited yet, nor made a decision:

The Golden State Warriors say no decision has been made regarding a potential White House visit to celebrate their NBA title. The Warriors issued a statement Tuesday saying that “today is all about celebrating our championship” and that they have not received an invitation to the White House. The statement added the organization would make those decisions when and if necessary.” The team issued the statement following multiple reports that the Warriors had voted unanimously against making a White House trip.
