Kyrie Irving’s media boycott, it seems, is already over.

The Brooklyn Nets star — who issued several statements and went on Instagram Live in lieu of meeting with reporters earlier this month, which resulted in the league fining him and the team $25,000 — finally met with the media on Monday morning.
