Nets lift Kyrie Irving suspension, star guard admits apology should have come sooner
Irving said, 'I don't stand for anything close to hate speech' during a news conference Sunday

As expected, the Brooklyn Nets will lift their suspension on point guard Kyrie Irving on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Irving has been suspended since Nov. 3 after posting a link to an antisemitic movie on Amazon to his social media. He spoke to reporters on Sunday prior to the game, saying once again that he is sorry for his actions.

"I don’t stand for anything close to hate speech, or antisemitism, or anything that is anti going against the human race," Irving said via ESPN. "I feel like we all should have an opportunity to speak for ourselves when things are assumed about us. And I feel it was necessary for me to stand in this place and take accountability for my actions because there was a way I should have handled all of this."
