Kyrie Irving has apologised for posting a link to a movie which had antisemitic references - and could return for the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
Irving was suspended by the Nets for five games without pay after he failed to apologise for sharing a link to an antisemitic film on social media. The seven-time All-Star refused to ‘unequivocally say he has no antisemitic views’ despite having numerous opportunities to do so.
He was asked to work through six steps on a potential path forward back to the Nets. The Nets told him to apologise, make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes and also complete sensitivity training and antisemitic training. The franchise have also requested him to meet with ADL, Jewish community leaders in Brooklyn, and finally with owner Joe Tsai to truly showcase the work he has put in.
