NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving had a "direct and candid conversation" earlier this week, and he came out with the impression that Irving "no doubt" is not antisemitic.

"He’s someone I’ve known for a decade, and I’ve never heard an antisemitic word from him or, frankly, hate directed at any group," Silver, who is Jewish, told The New York Times.

"Whether or not he is antisemitic is not relevant to the damage caused by the posting of hateful content."
