Kyrie Irving Suspension May Land the Nets in Hot Water as 7x All-Star Prepares for Reported Return

The Brooklyn Nets seemed to have been dealt another blow this season. Amidst this turbulent season, the Nets may have a lawsuit on their hands. According to reports, the Labor Organizers are filing a charge against the Nets as they allegedly violated laws when they suspended Kyrie Irving, who is nearing a return to the team after missing eight games so far.

The Nets have been dealing with trouble for a long time as they first had to lock up their stars in the off-season. After that, their season started off poorly and it was clear this team needed to be fixed. Then, head coach Steve Nash was fired after a poor start.

And worst of all, Kyrie Irving was suspended without pay for a minimum of five games. Irving had put on a post on Twitter with a link to a film containing antisemitic material. This attracted severe backlash and Irving failed to initially condemn or apologize for his actions. The Nets were forced to act, and they suspended Irving and asked him to complete a list of actions before joining the team again. They also said that Irving had to finish everything on the list, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to return to the team.

The Nets have a complaint against them for suspending Kyrie Irving

Irving was suspended nearly three weeks ago, but he is yet to make his return to the court till now. The Brooklyn Nets said that Irving was unfit to be associated with the team. They also did not give a clear indication of when his suspension would end.

Amidst all this, a report has come that could cause the Nets even more trouble. The Labor Organizers have reportedly filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board against the Nets. They have said they violated federal labor law and the league’s collective bargaining agreement when they suspended Irving.

Several players and the NBPA have already condemned the Nets for their actions. They agreed that Irving made a mistake and recognized that he later apologized for his actions. But they felt that the Nets were doing too much and asked them to let Irving play. The Nets will likely have to fight the complaint even as Irving looks set to make his return to the team this Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
