Kyrie Irving served an eight-game suspension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nike has ended its sponsorship deal with Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving one month after he promoted a documentary which contained anti-Semitic material on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old missed eight games during his suspension from the NBA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking recently, Nike founder Phil Knight said: “Kyrie stepped over the line. It’s kind of that simple.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Knight added: “He made some statements that we just can’t abide by, and that’s why we ended the relationship. I was fine with that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven-time NBA All-Star Irving had partnered with Nike for eight years and, according to Forbes, had an $11m (\u00a39m) contract with the brand as of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his suspension, he met NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Jewish community leaders, while he and the Nets <\/span>pledged to donate<\/span><\/a> $1m (\u00a3820,000) to combat “hate and intolerance”. <\/span><\/p>\n
