Nike has ended its eight-year commercial relationship with professional basketball star Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets player recently ensnared in controversy after he posted a link to an antisemitic movie<\/span> on social media. <\/p>\n

Nike’s move comes one month after the athletic apparel giant suspended its relationship<\/span> with Irving over a tweet he shared in October. In a one-line statement to CBS News on Monday, Nike said “Kyrie Irving is no longer a Nike athlete.”<\/p>\n

Irving’s agent, Shetellia Riley Irving, told CBS MoneyWatch that “both Nike and Kyrie mutually decided to part ways.”<\/p>\n
