LOS ANGELES — Kyrie Irving missed Sunday night’s 116-103 loss to the Lakers, still listed as suspended by the Nets. 

The All-Star point guard — banned after posting links to an anti-Semitic movie and initially refusing to apologize — took to social media again Sunday with a cryptic tweet saying he won’t stoke or engage in any strife or bigotry. 

“I was not put here on earth to participate in any religious/political wars or incite racial disharmony/prejudice within communities,” Irving tweeted. “We are all equal under the sun and I am here to participate in the building of an Equal world and follow the Word from the Most High/GOD/YAH.” 

Irving first touched off a controversy with his Oct. 27 posts on Twitter and Instagram linking to an anti-Semitic film. He ignored public rebukes from both NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Nets team owner Joe Tsai and refused to apologize until after the latter suspended him. 

The suspension was for a minimum of five games, but his reinstatement is contingent on completing several tasks, one of which included an apology for promoting the film. Irving passed the five-game mark with Saturday’s 110-95 win over the Clippers, but when The Post asked Tsai if Irving would return on this road trip, the Nets team owner said the star guard “still has work to do.” 

It’s unclear if Sunday’s tweet is intended to be part of that work and serve as an apology or disavowing of the aforementioned film. And even the Nets players have no clue when or if they’ll get their teammate back. 

“Nah. It’s been out of our control,” Kevin Durant said. “As players, we try to lock in on the game and practices, and we just try to lock in. … It’s over a lot of our heads right now. We just have to control what we can.” 

“His spirit is high. [He’s] looking forward to playing again. You know [Irving], he’s a gamer. He loves to play. Hopefully, all this stuff is over with, we can move past it and get him back on the floor soon.” 

Center Nic Claxton said he’s spoken to Irving and that the point guard is keeping his head up throughout the suspension. 

“Yeah, his spirits are up, just trying to know navigate through everything,” Claxton said. “I have no idea [when he’s returning]. I heard he’s not playing [vs. the Lakers], which is unfortunate. But you know, whenever he’s, whenever he gets back, we’ll get him back in the swing of things.” 

Claxton got knocked out of Sunday’s loss with an eye contusion. But he said afterwards he hopes to be back for Tuesday’s game in Sacramento. 

“I just got hit by [Austin Reaves]. He was swinging around and he caught me,” Claxton said. “But it’s all good. I feel better.” 

Asked if he expected to suit up against the Kings, he said he plans to. 

“Eye contusion for Nic. We’ll see how he responds [Monday],” Jacque Vaughn said. “I don’t know how direct it was. But, he was experiencing, he didn’t feel right. That’s what he told our performance team while he was out there. So we pulled him.”

Ben Simmons (knee) and Seth Curry (ankle) were late scratches. 

Curry was downgraded from questionable to out, resting his surgically repaired ankle. Vaughn said it was precautionary and he should play Tuesday. 

Simmons’ status was more up in the air. 

“Ben experienced some knee soreness before the game. So he was a no go,” Vaughn said. Asked if Simmons would get an MRI Monday, the coach said, “I’m not sure we’re going to go there. I think we’ve done him all right before. I’m not sure if it’s warranted this time. We’ll see how he feels in the morning and hopefully he’s ready to go the next game.” 

Simmons missed four straight games earlier this season with knee soreness.
