Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been suspended for at least five games for "publicizing a film containing deeply disturbing antisemitic hate," the organization said Thursday.

Irving is "currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets," as it has made several attempts in the last few days to help Irving understand the harmful impacts of his words and actions through a joint committee, the Nets said.
