NEW YORK -- Kyrie Irving finally apologized late Thursday night over his social media posts about an antisemitic movie.

His apology came only after the Brooklyn Nets suspended him.

The Nets call him "unfit to be associated" with the team and suspended him for at least five games.

Irving posted on Instagram saying, "I am deeply sorry to have caused your pain and I apologize."

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.
