Nets owner Joe Tsai condemned Irving's decision to promote an antisemitic film and book on his social media accounts.
The film is based on a book full of anti-Semitic misinformation. As a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion.
I'm disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion.

According to Rolling Stone, Irving promoted a movie called "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" that is filled with antisemitic stereotypes.
The film's Amazon page was linked out to by Irving's post. The book is the basis for the movie.
The Brooklyn Nets have no tolerance for promoting any form of hate speech. Our first action must be open and honest. We would like to thank those who have supported us during this time.
Irving didn't address the decision to promote the book and movie. On Saturday, the Nets play the Pacers.
