- Irving has been suspended since Nov. 3, after posting to his social media a link to an antisemitic movie on Amazon
- He reportedly on Sunday said: “I don’t stand for anything close to hate speech, or antisemitism, or anything that is anti going against the human race,” he reportedly said.
- The Nets did not agree with Irving’s initial response, in part because he didn’t publicly apologize the first time he had the chance with the media.
- However, Irving still appear to hold position that his action wasn’t antisemitic, despite having been perceived so by others.
- “It should have been on the first day that I was dealing with all this of just being there for all those that felt like this was antisemitic,” he said.
