NEW YORK—Kyrie Irving did not speak to reporters again Tuesday while the Brooklyn Nets decide how best to respond to the fallout from the star guard posting a link to an antisemitic film on social media.
Irving defiantly defended himself and his right to post whatever he believes after the Nets’ game Saturday, and general manager Sean Marks said the team didn’t want to cause additional “fuss” by Irving speaking again after it played Tuesday. “I think everybody knows he’s going to have to answer these questions at some point and he hasn’t sort of shied away in the past,” Marks said. “But I think the last postgame meeting didn’t go well and we’re not trying to cover it up, I think this is something that needs to be addressed, but let’s address it in the right form and fashion.”
Irving was held to a season-low four points in the Nets’ 108-99 loss to Chicago. He shot 2 for 12, missing all six 3-point attempts.
