Circled in a controversy of his own making after promoting a link to an anti-Semitic film, Kyrie Irving was back in the Nets starting lineup Monday.
Steve Nash was vague when asked about the prospect of any disciplinary action. And The Post spoke with at least one fan who’d give up his season tickets if such action weren’t forthcoming.
The All-Star didn’t speak to the media afterward, but did talk to the group of Jewish fans, telling them he was “grateful for you guys.” But Lawrence resident Aaron Jungreis, 52, told The Post that appreciation was dripping in sarcasm. Asked if the organization were satisfied with Irving’s handling of the situation, Nash offered a vague answer that implied it was both above his pay grade and still up in the air.“That’s an ongoing conversation,” Nash said. “I haven’t been a part of those internal talks, to be honest; I’ve been coaching, preparing the team. But I know they’re looking at that constantly.”
“I think it certainly helps,” Nash said. “Like I said, I wasn’t in on all those conversations, so I can’t comment on them.”
