Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is cleared to play tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. The clearance marks the end of Irving’s eight-game suspension for “harmful impact of his conduct” relating to his social media post last month publicizing a movie that contained anti-semitic ideas.
During a press conference this morning, Irving apologized again to those impacted by his behavior and talked about how this process helped him learn the responsibility that comes with his platform.
“I don’t stand for anything close to hate speech, or antisemitism, or anything that is anti going against the human race,” Irving said.
