LOS ANGELES -- Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant and his teammates still aren't sure when Kyrie Irving will return to the team, but Durant says he's been in communication with Irving recently and his spirits are "high."
"Looking forward to playing the game, you know Ky, he's a gamer, he loves to play," Durant said after Saturday's 110-95 win over the LA Clippers. "So hopefully all this stuff is over with, we can move past it, and get him back on the floor soon."
Irving on Saturday served the fifth game of a minimum of five games for his refusal to condemn the contents of an antisemitic film he shared on his social media, with coach Jacque Vaughn saying before Saturday's game that Irving will be out at least another game Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
