But apparently the list runs deeper.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets, who are 2-0 without Irving, also want him to speak with the media and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/04\/kyrie-irving-finally-releases-apology-after-nets-suspension\/\">issue a verbal apology for promoting the film<\/a>, acknowledging its message is harmful and untrue. He also has to share the apology on his social media accounts. In addition, he has to go to sensitivity training.<\/p>\n<p>All the above was reported by Yahoo. On Saturday night, The Athletic added that Irving must make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes, and also undergo training to understand anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kyrie-Irving-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyrie-Irving-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kyrie Irving\" class=\"wp-image-24547378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kyrie-Irving-1.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kyrie-Irving-1.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kyrie-Irving-1.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Kyrie Irving<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Irving <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/03\/nets-suspend-currently-unfit-kyrie-irving\/\">was suspended for at least five games<\/a> after repeated refusals to apologize, testy exchanges with the media and a lack of dialogue with the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Now Silver, who is Jewish, has demanded to meet with Irving this coming week, and Celtics forward Grant Williams \u2014 who is, like Irving an NBPA VP \u2014 said the union will discuss the matter as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we will but currently, there are a lot of matters as well,\u201d Williams told MassLive. \u201cI think we\u2019ll get together as a group potentially \u2014 everything has been through the team. It has been not been a league issue to this point. It hasn\u2019t been an NBA\/NBPA issue. The Nets and the league have taken care of that and dealing with Kyrie and the process there. We don\u2019t have much control on that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irving\u2019s former <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/05\/lebron-james-speaks-out-against-kyrie-irving-dont-respect-it\/\">Cavalier teammate, LeBron James, chimed in as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t condone any hate to any kind. To any race. To Jewish communities, to Black communities, to Asian communities. You guys know where I stand,\u201d James said Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, James\u2019 digital media company, Uninterrupted, decided not to air an episode of his YouTube talk show, \u201cThe Shop,\u201d featuring Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, because of anti-Semitic comments by the rapper. He has repeatedly supported Irving\u2019s recent stance, one controversial enough that Nike suspended its relationship with the Nets point guard.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no place in this world for [hate speech]. Nobody can benefit from that, and I believe what Kyrie did caused some harm to a lot of people,\u201d James said Friday after the Lakers\u2019 130-116 loss to Utah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe caused some harm, and I think it\u2019s unfortunate. But I don\u2019t stand on the position to harm people when it comes to your voice or your platform or anything. So it doesn\u2019t matter what color your skin is, how tall you are, what position you\u2019re in. If you are promoting or soliciting or saying harmful things to any community that harms people, then I don\u2019t respect it. I don\u2019t condone it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their first game without the suspended Irving, the Nets rolled to a 128-86 win Friday night at Washington. Afterward, Wizards forward Deni Avdija, who is from Israel and is believed to be the only Jewish player in the NBA, spoke on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Irving] is a role model, he\u2019s a great player. I think he [made] a mistake. But you need to understand that he gives [an] example to people. People look up to him,\u201d Avdija said. \u201cYou can think whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right to go out in public and publish it, and let little kids that follow you see it, and the generation to come after to think like that. Because it\u2019s not true. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair. Hopefully, he\u2019s sorry for what he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there needs to be consequences for the actions that a player [does]. I don\u2019t know the punishment that the league gives but I think that needs to be known that there\u2019s no room for words like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irving served the second game of his suspension Saturday when the Nets won 98-94 at Charlotte. But if Irving chooses not to go through with his various meetings \u2014 including with Silver and Jewish leaders \u2014 it\u2019s unclear when, or if, he\u2019ll play again for the Nets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 The road map to Kyrie Irving\u2019s return to the Nets has been revealed.
