Nets guard Kyrie Irving could return from his suspension for Sunday’s game vs. the Grizzlies, sources told The Athletic’s Sham Charania on Thursday.
Irving is serving a suspension after he promoted an antisemitic film and book on his social media accounts. The suspension was for a minimum of five games, but he has since missed seven games. He will miss his eighth game on Thursday night.
A report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday said that the guard was “nearing completion” of the internal requirements that the Nets described as “a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct.” Come Thursday, Charania reported that the guard is “expected to be cleared to play” come Sunday.
