‘I missed it’: Kyrie Irving ‘grateful’ to return to Brooklyn Nets practice

• Star guard returns to practice Wednesday with Brooklyn
• Irving has yet to play this year due to unvaccinated status

Kyrie Irving doesn't know when he'll get his first playing time of the season. The fact that it's sooner than later is good enough for him right now.

Irving returned to practice Wednesday with the Brooklyn Nets, out of the NBA's health and safety protocols and potentially just a few days away from suiting up with the Eastern Conference leaders for the first time this season.
