Nets Owner Joe Tsai Issues Statement After Kyrie Irving Meeting

Nets governor Joe Tsai told reporters on Friday that he and his wife Clara met with suspended guard Kyrie Irving and his family on Thursday to discuss the situation surrounding the guard’s sharing of an antisemitic film on Twitter.

“We spent quality time to understand each other and it’s clear to me that Kyrie does not have any beliefs of hate towards Jewish people or any group,” Tsai tweeted. “The Nets and Kyrie, together with the NBA and NBPA, are working constructively toward a process of forgiveness, healing and education.”

Ian Begley of SNY reported on Friday that the meeting between the Tsais and Irving was “very positive,” and that Irving’s suspension is at least for one more game.
