Kyrie Irving apologized overnight after the Brooklyn Nets suspended him for at least five games. jennamdeangelis has the latest on the controversy:
It was a change in tune from earlier in the day when he was asked directly if he would apologize for posting a link to an antisemitic movie on his social media. "I didn't mean to cause any harm. I'm not the one who made the documentary," Irving replied. It's been a week since his controversial post.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who is Jewish himself, said Thursday,"Kyrie Irving made a reckless decision" and said he plans to meet with Irving next week. Prior to Irving's apology, the Nets also announced he would be suspended for at least five games without pay until he"satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct."
