Kyrie Irving returned to the Nets last night after missing eight games for linking to an antisemitic movie.
The 30-year-old apologized to the Jewish community again before being reinstated from his suspension.
A group of Black Hebrew Israelites stood in solidarity with Irving when he returned to the Barclays Center after being away for a few weeks
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown praised the Israelite's "energy."

Given the Israelites' have many of the same attitudes toward Jews as the movie Irving linked to, people were surprised Brown would have publically supported them.
It turns out he was confused.
