Nets’ Kyrie Irving irked by leak of private NBA-China meeting

Considering Kyrie Irving had only spoken to the media a couple of times since joining the Nets in June, many fans are still learning about their new star. But one thing is clear about Irving: He’s going to live his truth.

That meant speaking his mind to NBA commissioner Adam Silver in a closed-door meeting with players Oct. 9 regarding the NBA’s volatile situation in China. And that includes voicing his displeasure that the aforementioned conversation got out.

“No. 1, you want to keep those meetings private,” Irving said of the closed-door session in Shanghai.
