Will return Sunday The Nets have officially reinstated Irving from his suspension and cleared him to play Sunday against the Grizzlies, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports. Impact As expected, Irving will be available for Sunday's matchup after serving what ended up being an eight-game suspension, which the Nets handed down Nov. 3 for "harmful impact of his conduct" related to posts on his social media account. While Irving was sidelined, Brooklyn managed to win five out of its past eight games, but the 30-year-old point guard should immediately step back into a high-minute, high-volume role on offense. Prior to his suspension, Irving was averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks in 38.6 minutes per game over eight appearances.
