The Nets announced their decision to suspend Kyrie Irving on Thursday as the star guard continues to face backlash from his recent promotion of an antisemitic film and book on social media.
Brooklyn issued a statement announcing Irving will be suspended without pay “until he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct.” The team did not specify the length of the suspension but noted it will last for “no less than five games.”
The earliest Irving could return is Nov. 13 when the Nets take on the Lakers in Los Angeles.
