Kyrie Irving was officially introduced as a member of the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, but there was still plenty to discuss about his former team, the Brooklyn Nets.
" effort between them. Irving's first season in Brooklyn, which was sans Durant while the star recovered from his Achilles tear, ended in February due to a shoulder injury.
The Nets initially decided to not play Irving at all rather than as a part-time player, but soon buckled and started playing him on the road, then full-time once the vaccine requirement was lifted. Between that and injury woes, the Nets failed to gel that season, getting swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round.
That could have been the end of it, until Irving was asked, straight up, if he held antisemitic beliefs. Irving did not say no and instead claimed he couldn't be antisemitic, leading the Nets to suspend him for what ended up being eight games and demand he apologize, complete sensitivity training and meet with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn.
