TL;DR

|NBA||teams||scores||News||Standings||NBA, Brooklyn Nets|NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai issued a statement Friday night condemning guard Kyrie Irving's decision to promote an antisemitic film and book on his social media accounts."We believe we all have a role to play in ensuring such words or ideas, including antisemetic ones, are challenged and refuted and we will continue working with all members of the NBA community to ensure that everyone understands the impact of their words and actions."As Rolling Stone initially reported in an article earlier Friday, Irving promoted a movie called "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" that, as the magazine points out, is "stuffed with antisemitic tropes."We thank those, including the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), who have been supportive during this time."So if we get a minute to breathe and get a deeper understanding of what actually are the details here then we will, but right now I think guys are trying to focus on the game, I think the organization has stepped up and made a strong statement on their beliefs and you'll be able to hear from Kyrie when it's his turn to talk.""
