Following the Brooklyn Nets’ decision to indefinitely suspend Kyrie Irving, the team has reportedly given Irving a list of criteria he must meet before a return is considered.
Basketball insider Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the Nets have issued some mandates to the star guard. Earlier this week, general manager Sean Marks said that should Irving fulfill the steps laid out by the team, the organization would then “evaluate and see if this is the right opportunity to bring him back.”
This comes after Irving promoted an antisemitic film on Twitter, and was reluctant to apologize. Irving has since issued an apology on Instagram.
Sources: Nets have delivered Kyrie Irving six items he must complete to return to team:
– Apologize/condemn movie
– $500K donation to anti-hate causes
– Sensitivity training
– Antisemitic training
– Meet with ADL, Jewish leaders
– Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 6, 2022
Nike suspended its relationship with Irving on Friday and called off the launch of his latest signature shoe.
On the court away from Irving, the Nets are on a winning streak, picking up two important wins on the road.
