Strange situation.

What could be even stranger, for the Nets, is if they ended up playing Toronto in the playoffs, Kyrie wouldn't be able to play at all because of Canada's rules against letting in unvaccinated people.

Right now that wouldn't be the case (unless both teams won their first round series), but there's still some time left for movement in the standings.

So, it would appear trading Kyrie Irving was one of the best moves the Cavs ever made, even if it hurt the product on the court. That guy is a sideshow disaster and is getting nuttier every year.

Kyrie Irving Suspended by Nets for at Least 5 Games After Promoting Antisemitic Film

The Brooklyn Nets have suspended Kyrie Irving for no less than five games after he promoted an antisemitic film on his social media accounts and was not apologetic when given multiple chances to address the situation.

The team released a statement saying, in part, it has "made repeated attempts to work with Kyrie Irving to help him understand the harm and danger of his words and actions. We were dismayed today, when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs."

Nike relationship with Kyrie Irving likely over, Phil Knight says

The relationship between Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving and Nike is likely severed for good, the shoe giant's co-founder told CNBC.

"I would doubt that we go back," co-founder Phil Knight said in an interview that aired Thursday. "But I don't know for sure."

Nike announced last Friday that it has "suspended" its relationship with Irving and canceled its plans to release his next signature shoe, part of the massive fallout that followed his tweeting a link to a film containing antisemitic material.

The Nets also suspended Irving for at least five games; he has missed four already.

Irving signed with Nike in 2011 and has had a signature line of shoes since 2014, with his annual endorsement deal believed to be worth at least $11 million.

"Kyrie stepped over the line," Knight said. "It's kind of that simple. He made some statements that we just can't abide by and that's why we ended the relationship. And I was fine with that."

OK, he's already financially set for life and doesn't actually need the money; but still $11M a year is a good chunk of change. He does have a K.A.I. Family Foundation that supports several charities that could undoubtedly do a lot of good with the extra $11M a year.
