According to ESPN's Chris Forsberg, it looks like Kyrie Irving is back in the game. He is scheduled to play tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, but the masked man is back. He needs the mask to protect his face after suffering a fracture below his eye after getting accidentally elbowed by teammate, Aron Baynes.

As he prepares to wear a protective mask for the third time in his NBA career, Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving is very much aware of the "Masked Kyrie" phenomenon that's flourished on social media.
