Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving had previously made a social media post promoting a movie and book with anti-semitic beliefs.
Following the effect that his post had on the Jewish community, Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie until he meets some conditions.
Kyrie came out later on social media and apologized for he had hurt the Jewish community.
However, he is yet to donate $500,000 for the cause and organizations to help Jewish people, one of the conditions for his comeback in the game.
Nets' owner Joseph Tsai on Twitter: "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. This is bigger than Basketball."
Many NBA GM's, when asked if they will sign Irving in the future, responded with a straightforward 'NO'.
They believe: "he's the opposite of a commodity, which is what you want a player who's getting paid that much to be." Some even went to lengths to say that Irving will not be able to be a part of NBA anymore.
