Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown took issue with a remark Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai made in regards to lifting Kyrie Irving's suspension.
for at least five games over the issue and was reportedly given several benchmarks to hit before he would be allowed to return. Tsai said last week Irving"still had work to do" when it came to returning to the floor, and he has not been on the team’s West Coast road trip.

He said that [Kyrie] had more work to do. And our society has more work to do, including Joe Tsai. It’s 2022. It takes 10 minutes of time to see who these business owners, corporations etc.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was among those who said they did not believe Irving was antisemitic after a meeting last week. He understood this particular situation was"uncharted territory" and wondered just how long the suspension for Irving was going to be."I think you are asking for a need to satisfy the common public, and I’m not sure if that is something that Kyrie is looking to do," Brown added."I don’t think he meant any harm by posting it.
Irving found himself in hot water in October after posting an Amazon link to the film,"Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America."
