CNN —Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai says he believes Nets star Kyrie Irving “does not have any beliefs of hate towards Jewish people.”Tsai tweeted on Friday: “Clara and I met with Kyrie and his family yesterday.
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.
The 30-year-old NBA star apologized on his Instagram account after his suspension was announced.
Earlier in the week, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he believes that Irving is not antisemitic following a meeting between the two.
Silver said the Nets along with the league will consult to decide when Irving can return from suspension.
