Kyrie Irving’s return uncertain and not uncomplicated

Kyrie Irving is in quarantine, on COVID health and safety protocols. Once he clears quarantine, he can play road games, but who knows when. He has to return at least two negative tests 24 hours apart before he can start the ramp-up to play. Word is that he’s in shape and excited about a return but the Nets haven’t seen him on the court yet.

Then, as one of the 10 to 15 NBA players who are unvaccinated, he will have to deal with regulations that will keep him at a distance from teammates and other Nets coaches and staffers.
