There’s a saying in sports management that an organization should never make a personnel decision until it absolutely has to. Such is the case with the Nets and Kyrie Irving, who remains suspended for promoting hateful and antisemitic content on his social media. The original length of the ban was announced as no less than five games, which would have made Irving eligible for Sunday’s contest versus the Lakers on the back end of an L.A. back-to-back. However, the Nets’ statement also referred to the necessity of Irving meeting “a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct,” of which no one other than The Athletic’s Shams Charania has listed. All we know is that Irving has met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Nets management (including owner Joseph Tsai). When The New York Post’s Brian Lewis caught up with Tsai during Brooklyn’s 110-95 victory over the Clippers on Saturday, their fourth win in those five Irving-less games, Tsai said Irving “still has work to do” before he can rejoin his teammates.
