Kyrie Irving stepped up to the podium, ready to field questions for the first time in seven weeks.
Deep inhale.
The biggest story around Kyrie this season hasn’t been about his 50-point night or 11-game offensive rampage. It’s been about his mysterious shoulder impingement injury, one neither he nor the Nets have discussed very much or very well. It started on November 15 when the Nets PR Twitter account dropped a random tweet...
He missed the Chicago game, then missed the next 21 games after that until he spoke again Saturday. The Nets deemed it a right shoulder impingement, which is very vague.
