NEW YORK — Nets general manager Sean Marks said the organization is discussing — both internally and externally — an appropriate course of action for disciplining star guard Kyrie Irving after he posted antisemitic material on his social media feeds last week.
Marks said Nets owner Joe Tsai is talking to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Marks, along with the rest of the front office, is trying to find the best course of action after the widespread outrage and backlash following Irving’s post.
“Part of it is going to be getting the sides together so they can understand where people are coming from,” Marks said hours after announcing the team had parted ways with head coach Steve Nash on Tuesday. “There’s an education piece for everybody here. There’s an empathetic piece to this and understanding that we need to move on and we need to do the right thing without a doubt.”
