Kyrie Irving Returning on Sunday?


Earlier this month The Brooklyn Nets suspended point guard Kyrie Irving for five games and gave him a list of requirements after he refused to deny being antisemitic [click here if you missed that]. 

Kyrie is expected back this weekend... 

From ESPN
Suspended All-Star guard Kyrie Irving is nearing completion on the process needed for a return to play and could rejoin the Brooklyn Nets as soon as Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies at Barclays Center, sources told ESPN.
Irving missed his eighth consecutive game on Thursday night in Portland, but he is closing in on the end to his suspension after nearly two weeks, sources said.
"Kyrie is continuing his journey of dialogue and education," National Basketball Players Association executive director Tamika Tremaglio told ESPN on Wednesday night. "He has been grappling with the full weight of the impact of his voice and actions, particularly in the Jewish community. Kyrie rejects antisemitism in any form, and he's dedicated to bettering himself and increasing his level of understanding. He plans to continue this journey well into the future to ensure that his words and actions align with his pursuit of truth and knowledge."
Tremaglio and the union have worked closely with Irving, the Nets and the NBA in helping him to author his own remedies to end the suspension, sources said. What might have started out as a rigid list of prerequisites evolved into Irving himself taking ownership of the process, which is what the Nets and the league hoped would be the case, sources said.
Irving is carrying out a minimum five-game suspension without pay for his failure to initially apologize for and condemn his social media link to a film riddled with antisemitic material.

Trust me Kyrie will be caught up in more foolishness in the nearest future. He can't help himself.

As long as he's coming back w/o making an apology, why should he apologize for telling the truth. And for those of you that says he needs to shut up, have a seat in the broom closet. They are trying to buck break those men in front of our eyes.
