As expected, the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> will lift their suspension on point guard Kyrie Irving on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irving has been suspended<\/a> since Nov. 3 after posting a link to an antisemitic movie on Amazon to his social media. He spoke to reporters on Sunday prior to the game, saying once again that he is sorry for his actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t stand for anything close to hate speech, or antisemitism, or anything that is anti going against the human race,” Irving said via ESPN<\/a>. “I feel like we all should have an opportunity to speak for ourselves when things are assumed about us. And I feel it was necessary for me to stand in this place and take accountability for my actions because there was a way I should have handled all of this.”<\/p>\n

Irving didn\u2019t initially have the right response to the issue in the Nets\u2019 eyes, as he didn\u2019t publicly apologize the first time he had the chance with the media. But after going through the six-step program the Nets gave him before he could return, he knows he should have gone about things differently.<\/p>\n

“It should have been on the first day that I was dealing with all this of just being there for all those that felt like this was antisemitic,” Irving said. “And I should have clarified that I am not antisemitic and I am not anti-anything when it comes to the way I live my life. So the learning lesson for me was just the power of my platform and the impact that it can cause if it’s not taken care of the right way. So meeting with different people within the Jewish community has offered me some clarity on a deeper understanding of what’s going on and the impact that was made and the hurt that was caused.”<\/p>\n

Brooklyn released their own statement on Sunday after making the decision to lift the suspension after eight games missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

KYRIE IRVING DISCUSSES \u2018LEARNING JOURNEY\u2019 SINCE SUSPENSION: \u2018A LOT OF HURT THAT NEEDED TO BE HEALED\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Kyrie took ownership of his journey and had conversations with several members of the Jewish community. We are pleased that he is going about the process in a meaningful way,” the Nets said.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0six-step program<\/a>\u00a0for Irving is as follows, via The Athletic:<\/p>\n

Many have debated whether the Nets went overboard with their punishment, as Boston Celtics<\/a> forward Jaylen Brown called Nets owner Joe Tsai\u2019s remarks on Irving returning “alarming.” Tsai said Irving “still had work to do” last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, a former teammate of Irving\u2019s, believed the Nets were going too far.<\/p>\n

NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who is Jewish, had a lengthy meeting with Irving, and he came away saying Irving is not prejudiced against Jewish people. However, Silver said he understood the Nets\u2019 suspension due to the “uncharted territory” the team was navigating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The description of the movie on Amazon that Irving posted says the film “uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel by proving the true ethnicity of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Sons of Ham, Shem and Japheth. Find out what\u00a0Islam, Judaism and Christianity<\/a>\u00a0has covered up for centuries in regards to the true biblical identity of the so-called \u2018Negro\u2019 in this movie packed with tons of research.”<\/p>\n

Irving later apologized “to All Jewish families and Communities” hurt by his post but only after the Nets suspended him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 7-9 Nets now get one of the most dynamic scorers back on the floor with perennial All-Star Kevin Durant<\/a>. Prior to his suspension, Irving was averaging 26.9 points per contest in 38.6 minutes averaged per game. He also sports 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season, though he\u2019s only played eight games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
