Kyrie Irving did not speak to the media after the second consecutive game after fallout from his decision to link to an antisemitic film on social media and comments he made to media when asked about it following Saturday’s game.
“I think everybody knows he’s going to have to answer these questions at some point and he hasn’t sort of shied away in the past,” Sean Marks said. “But I think the last postgame meeting didn’t go well and we’re not trying to cover it up, I think this is something that needs to be addressed, but let’s address it in the right form and fashion.”
Irving will continue playing in the meantime.
“At some point he will come up here and do media again, but I think at this point we don’t want to cause more fuss right now, more interaction with people,” Marks said. “Let’s let him simmer down and let’s … I guess let’s let cooler minds prevail. We need to go out and educate ourselves, educate the whole group and get some direction, seek from the experts, and one of them is certainly the ADL.”
