1:04Now PlayingNBA superstar Kyrie Irving was photographed wearing a pro-Palestine tee from Wear The Peace honoring Gaza journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi.
Al-Jafarawi was a widely followed citizen journalist and table-tennis player who was shot dead in Gaza City in Oct. 2025 by Israel-allied gangs while covering post-ceasefire clashes. After his killing, Meta removed his Instagram account, erasing years of on-the-ground documentation from Gaza, including material cited by human rights groups as evidence of Israeli war crimes.
While most American athletes and NBA stars have stayed silent during the live-streamed 26-month genocide in Gaza, Kyrie Irving has been among the few to stand with Palestine publicly.
That matters in a league where political speech carries consequences. Fellow NBA star Dwight Howard has said that after tweeting “Free Palestine” during the 2014 Gaza war, he received calls within minutes from the NBA commissioner’s office urging him to delete his post. Since Oct. 2023, only a small handful of NBA players have spoken out at all.
