Report: NBPA Could File Grievance If Kyrie Irving Suspension Isn't Resolved with Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have not yet reinstated Irving, which could lead to an intervention from the players' union.

If the various parties involved can't reach a resolution on a return timetable, the National Basketball Players Association may file a grievance on Irving's behalf.

Irving was suspended by the team for a minimum of five games for sharing an antisemitic film. A list of tasks was given to the veteran guard by the Nets.

Sources: Nets have delivered Kyrie Irving six items he must complete to return to team: - Apologize/condemn movie- $500K donation to anti-hate causes- Sensitivity training- Antisemitic training- Meet with ADL, Jewish leaders

- Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding

Irving, who has been out for six games, will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Adam Silver said he had a "direct and candid conversation" with Irving. He had a meeting with the governor.

Clara and I met with Kyrie and his family yesterday. We spent quality time to understand each other and it’s clear to me that Kyrie does not have any beliefs of hate towards Jewish people or any group.

The NBPA could take action if the 30-year-old doesn't come back to the team.

Jaylen Brown, the NBPA's vice president, told the Boston Globe that he thought the steps to return were too harsh.

"He made a mistake. He posted something. There was no distinction. Maybe we can move forward, but the terms in which he has to fulfill to return, I think not just speaking for me, speaking as a vice president from a lot of our players, we didn’t agree with the terms that was required for him to come back and we’re waiting for this Tuesday meeting to happen to see what comes of it."

The president of the NBPA hoped that the apology would be a learning experience.

As the seven-time All-Star looks to return to the floor, the players association will keep a close watch.
