The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving on Thursday for at least five games over his tweet to a link of a film considered to have some anti-Semitic ideas.
Nets general manager Sean Marks spoke to the press Friday morning and mentioned four conditions Irving must meet to get reinstated.
Irving, 30, already denounced the film as anti-Semitic and apologized for possibly hurting anybody with his tweet, meeting the first two conditions.
Marks, 47, said that Irving will need to “meet with Jewish leaders” in Brooklyn during his suspension.
Irving will also need to seek counseling so that the franchise can further “evaluate” him regarding the “right opportunity to bring him back.”
Kyrie Irving vs. the NBA media
The NBA media and Irving do not get along, recently evidenced during a heated press conference in which the Nets guard became emotional over questions regarding the anti-Semitic slapped upon him.
Marks tried keeping Irving away from the media in recent games and will hope things die down when he returns to the court from his suspension.
Irving, a controversial figure, will be on a short leash moving forward, so there’s a high probability that his time in Brooklyn is coming to an end.
Wherever he goes to continue his NBA career, the press will still be there, which means Irving must change his ways until retirement.
