If Adam Silver says it’s not over, it’s not over. On Thursday morning, the commissioner issued a strong statement on the agreement among Irving, the Nets and the Anti-Discrimination League, announced only 18 hours earlier.

Silver called for Irving had neither issued a “non-qualified apology” nor “denounced the vile and hateful content contained in the film he chose to publicize.” Silver also said he plans to meet with the Nets guard “in person in the next week.”

Here’s the full statement from NBA Communications.

The strong and rapid response to Irving’s statement Wednesday night would seem to suggest that he had not signed off on the agreement and statement released by the Nets early Wednesday evening.
