, Durant appeared to question the quality of Brooklyn’s starting lineup without Irving and asked, “What are you expecting from that group?”
Vaughn said he hadn’t addressed Irving’s possible return with his team, but he expected Irving and himself to address the matter once the decision is formalized.and Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, argued that the conditions of Irving’s return were too stringent.
In a statement posted to Instagram Nov. 3, Irving apologized “to all Jewish families and communities that are hurt and affected from my post,” acknowledging that he had linked to a film that “contained some false antisemitic statements, narratives and language that were untrue and offensive.” Irving continued: “I initially reacted out of emotion to being unjustly labeled antisemitic, instead of focusing on the healing process of my Jewish Brothers and Sisters that were hurt from the hateful remarks made in the documentary. I want to clarify any confusion on where I stand fighting against antisemitism by apologizing for posting the documentary without context and a factual explanation outlining the specific beliefs in the documentary I agreed with.
Irving, 30, is averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists. The Nets are 6-9 entering Thursday.
