Marc Stein reported on Monday that the NBPA could file a grievance on Nets guard Kyrie Irving’s behalf if Irving’s return to play conditions cannot be resolved by the parties involved. Irving is serving an indefinite suspension for tweeting a link to a antisemitic film and refusing to apologize for the tweet when initially questioned.
Irving has missed six games thus far under the suspension, and when Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn was asked for an update on when Irving would return, Vaughn said he has yet to speak to Irving and that he doesn’t have a timetable for Irving’s return.
Stein gave a glimpse into what sources have relayed to him regarding Irving’s situation:
“Word is Irving is itching to get back on the floor and there have been rumbles for days that the National Basketball Players Association, at some stage, could move to file a grievance on Irving’s behalf if the various parties involved can’t reach a resolution on a return timetable.”
