Nets suspend Kyrie Irving for at least 5 games after he fails to apologize; future remains ‘unclear’

Kyrie Irving has been suspended without pay by the Nets for at least 5 games. He has not apologized for his tweet promoting a film with anti-Semitic tropes.

Kyrie Irving will serve a five-game suspension without pay. He will have to take remedial measures to address the harmful impact of his conduct. The Anti Defamation League is no longer accepting Irving's $500,000 donation. The NBA star has been accused of posting a link to an anti-Semitic film. Irving has apologized for the post. It was his first public comments since a heated discussion with reporters on Saturday night. His team, Brooklyn Nets, has decided to suspend him. They believe he is unfit to be associated with the team. Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL’s Jonathan, supports the Nets' decision.
