Call it an explanation, a reversal, an apology —whatever you like— but Kyrie Irving laid out the rationale behind his post-games comments Wednesday, comments that appeared to diss some teammates and suggest the Nets had “glaring,” “transparent” issues that were holding them back from championship contention.
Irving told reporters that he had explained to his team what he meant by the comments and didn’t mean to single anybody out by listing core players. And he admitted that yes, he probably should have/could have added a few more names to his list.
“I reached out to make sure nothing was taken out of context — making sure that the guys knew exactly what I meant,” Irving said.
