The highly anticipated return of Kyrie Irving is close. Take a look at what was posted on the Barclays Center jumbotron after Monday night’s game. Not very subtle. Kyrie is coming.
Since the Nets relented their initial decision to keep Irving at home and brought the Nets guard back on a part-time basis, excitement has been building. Now, finally, Irving is nearing the end of his ramp-up. He’s expected to play against the Pacers on Wednesday, —aka tomorrow — in Indiana, the first of 22 games he’ll be eligible to play.
Steve Nash tried to tamp down expectations prior to Monday’s 118-104 loss to the Grizzlies that the team hasn’t made a firm decision whether he will return against the Pacers.
