Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving confirms he deleted Instagram apology for sharing antisemitic film

LOS ANGELES — After his first practice since becoming a Dallas Maverick, All-Star guard Kyrie Irving addressed the latest twist in his most controversial and inflammatory actions as a Brooklyn Net.

Irving originally posted the Instagram on Nov. 3, just after the Nets levied what became an eight-game suspension for sharing a link to the film on Twitter and failing to apologize and disavow antisemitic beliefs in subsequent news conferences.
