Silver laments lack of apology from Irving over promoting anti-Semitic film

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said on Thursday that he was disappointed Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving had not apologized for posting a link to an anti-Semitic documentary on social media and plans to meet with the seven-times All-Star next week.

In a joint statement on Wednesday with the Nets and Anti-Defamation League, Irving said he opposed all forms of hatred. Irving and the Nets also said they would each donate US$500,000 toward organizations that work to eradicate hate. "Kyrie Irving made a reckless decision to post a link to a film containing deeply offensive antisemitic material," Silver said in a statement.
