NEW YORK — As Nets star Kyrie Irving rejoined the team on Sunday night, fans voiced mixed views of his eight-game suspension over his recent controversial social media posts.
“He made a big mistake,” said Obi Dimoriaku, 22. “I feel he just didn’t do enough [research] on the documentary and he didn’t know what he was posting.”
Irving was allowed to take the court against the Memphis Grizzlies after apologizing for posting a link to the antisemitic 2018 movie “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” on both Twitter and Instagram on Oct. 27. That led to his suspension starting Nov. 3.
