Kyrie Irving addresses China issues, closed-door meeting with Adam Silver

NEW YORK -- Following a Brooklyn Nets preseason game on Friday that saw two groups of protesters wearing T-shirts that said "Stand with Hong Kong," guard Kyrie Irving met with reporters and talked about his thoughts on last week's tense trip to China for the first time.

Irving specifically addressed what transpired in a closed-door meeting between players and NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Oct. 9 in Shanghai, saying he intended to keep what he said in the meeting private.

"I don't know whose notes, or who is in there that you can't really depend on to keep a conversation like that in house -- especially when it is about the NBA brand and the NBA players being impacted by it," he said.
