‘I don’t think he meant any harm’: Jaylen Brown expresses discomfort with length, nature of Kyrie Irving’s suspension

As a vice president of the NBA’s players union, Jaylen Brown has been watching the way the NBA handles Kyrie Irving’s suspension.

On Monday, following the Celtics‘ win over the Thunder, Brown reiterated to reporters that he isn’t comfortable with the terms placed upon Irving’s return after the Nets star posted a link to an antisemitic documentary on social media — sparking a controversy and a back-and-forth with the media that ultimately led to his current status.

Over the weekend, Nets owner Joe Tsai said Irving “still has work to do” before he can return to the floor.
