Irving's stint with the Brooklyn Nets is ending after multiple controversies, including a suspension over an antisemitic social media post and missing games because of his refusal to be vaccinated.

The company's action came a day after the Nets suspended Irving without pay for at least five games for "publicizing the film containing deeply disturbing antisemitic hate."

Basketball star Kyrie Irving posted a clip on Twitter from a film that contained false and antisemitic comments. The post has since been deleted and Irving now faces a suspension of at least 5 games.

Mayor Eric Adams previously said it was unfair that a loophole in the vaccine rule allowed unvaccinated, visiting players and performers who don't work in New York to still play or perform.
