Irving set to 'move forward' with Nets after winning return
NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving said "he never had a doubt" he would return to the team after serving an eight-game suspension for "harmful impact of his conduct" relating to social media posts around a book and movie that contained anti-Semitic ideas.
Irving -- who scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds in 26 minutes Sunday night as Nets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 127-115 -- was happy to be back on the floor with his teammates after missing over two weeks.
"It felt good," Irving said. "It felt good. I missed my teammates, missed the coaching staff. ... It felt good to get this game out of the way, now we can move forward with the rest of the season."
