Last week, Kyrie Irving revealed that it was possible that he might need shoulder surgery to fix the shoulder issue that’s been plaguing him all season long.
Irving took a cortisone shot on December 24th to put off shoulder surgery and get back to the court as soon as possible. For the first time this week, Irving participated in a full practice and took part in 5-on-5 contact drills.
That work has apparently paid off for the Nets’ All-Star. He might play on Sunday when the Nets match up against the Hawks after being sidelined with his shoulder injury since mid-November.
It’ll be good to see Irving back on the court. Now, he’ll finally get a chance to justify his position as a leading All-Star vote getter.
