Brooklyn Nets say Kyrie Irving will return for some games and practices
CBSN
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will "re-join the team for games and practices in which he is eligible to participate," the team tweeted on Friday. He has been benched since the start of the season because he did not get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"We believe that the addition of Kyrie will not only make us a better team but allow us to more optimally balance the physical demand on the entire roster," the team wrote.
It is not clear exactly when the point guard will return.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
