Kyrie Irving might be back in the lineup for the Nets by Sunday, according to ESPN.
The mercurial star is currently suspended indefinitely for his shameful behavior after promoting an antisemitic film. The Nets did not define an end point when they declared he was “currently unfit to be associated” with the team. But they did say he would miss at least five games. The return window opened last weekend. If Irving does play Sunday against the Grizzlies in Brooklyn, he will have missed eight games in total.
Oh, and as should have been expected, it sure sounds like the Nets capitulated and moved the goalposts to get Irving back.
