During an interview with CNBC, Nike co-founder Phil Night said it’s unlikely the company and Nets star Kyrie Irving will resume their business relationship.
“I would doubt that we go back, but I don’t know for sure,” Knight said.
Nike announced Friday that it was suspending its relationship with Irving and would not launch his new shoe line. The decision comes in the wake of the 30-year-old posting a link to an antisemitic film on Twitter and refusing to apologize for it on several occasions.
He is currently serving a suspension for his actions, and shortly after his punishment was announced, he finally issued an apology to Jewish communities and families.
