Brooklyn Nets say Kyrie Irving will return for some games and practices
CBSN
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will "re-join the team for games and practices in which he is eligible to participate," the team tweeted on Friday. He has been benched since the start of the season because he did not get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"We believe that the addition of Kyrie will not only make us a better team but allow us to more optimally balance the physical demand on the entire roster," the team wrote.
It is not clear exactly when the point guard will return.
