Nets star Kyrie Irving is expected to clear his suspension for Sunday’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Irving, who missed his eighth consecutive game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday for “conduct detrimental to the team,” has reportedly gone “above and beyond” the criteria the Nets set for his return to the court after he posted the link to a film with antisemitic material on his social media feeds on Oct. 27.
“Kyrie is continuing his journey of dialogue and education,” National Basketball Players Association executive director Tamika Tremaglio told ESPN. “He has been grappling with the full weight of the impact of his voice and actions, particularly in the Jewish community. Kyrie rejects antisemitism in any form, and he’s dedicated to bettering himself and increasing his level of understanding. He plans to continue this journey well into the future to ensure that his words and actions align with his pursuit of truth and knowledge.”
