*Boston Celtics’ Kyrie Irving said on Thursday that he “meant no disrespect” after he criticized the Thanksgiving holiday.
After a 117-109 loss to the New York Knicks, Irving’s spirit was in no festive mood Wednesday night. When a reporter wished him a Happy Thanksgiving the five-time NBA All-Star said he doesn’t celebrate the holiday.
“F*ck Thanksgiving,” he added.
After taking some serious heat, Irving took to Twitter and admitted his comments were foul.
“I spoke with frustration after last night’s game and spoke words that shouldn’t be in a professional setting no matter what,” Irving wrote in a Twitter message on Thursday.
In a follow-up tweet he added: “Meant no disrespect to the holiday and those who celebrate it respectfully. I’m grateful for the time we all can share with our families. We are always ONE.”
