Nets' Kyrie Irving apologizes for antisemitic controversy: ‘I want to apologize deeply for my actions’

NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving is finally doing what he couldn’t bring himself to do last month: Offer a genuine apology.

“I really want to focus on the hurt that I caused or the impact that I made within the Jewish community. Putting some type of threat, or assumed threat, on the Jewish community,” Irving said in a video interview with SNY’s Ian Begley on Saturday.

“I just want to apologize deeply for all my actions throughout the time that it’s been since the post was first put up. I’ve had a lot of time to think. But my focus, initially, if I could do it over, would be to heal and repair a lot of my close relationships with my Jewish relatives, brothers and sisters.”
