Jaylen Brown, National Basketball Players Association Vice President and Boston Celtics All-Star, says “it’s time for a larger conversation” now that star Nets guard Kyrie Irving continues to miss games beyond his minimum five-game suspension.
Irving has been ruled out for what will be his seventh consecutive missed game after the Nets deemed him “unfit to be associated with the” franchise for “failure to disavow antisemitism” following the controversial post of a movie rife with antisemitic tropes on his social media feeds.
Over the weekend Nets owner Joe Tsai told a local reporter Irving “still has a lot of work to do” to get back onto the basketball court. Brown quote-tweeted the report and called it alarming for multiple reasons.
