Vaughn replaces Steve Nash, who was fired after a 2-5 start and amid franchise chaos that included Kyrie Irving’s promotion of an antisemitic film.

“I think he made a mistake. But you need to understand he gives an example to people and people look up to him,” Deni Avdija said of Kyrie Irving.

After Kevin Durant didn’t initially condemn Kyrie Irving’s antisemitic behavior and comments, he tweeted a clarification after media availability.

The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving at least five games without pay for refusing to “unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs.”

The San Antonio Spurs ignored their former sports psychologist’s reports of Josh Primo’s indecent exposure, an attorney for the woman said Thursday.

For all the talk of “doing things the right way,” Brooklyn is intent on maximizing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, even if that means hiring Ime Udoka.

Off to a 2-5 start, the Nets decided to cut ties with Nash, who was in his third season of his first head-coaching job.

It’s bizarre the Los Angeles front office hasn’t done more to surround LeBron James with better shooters – a blueprint that yielded the 2020 title.

The Warriors were a big winner Tuesday night as they got their 2022 NBA championship rings then kicked off a new season with a rout of the Lakers.
