The NBA has yet to officially announce anything regarding its investigation into the video that shows Kyrie Irving at a large party without a mask. However, the Brooklyn Nets confirmed the league is looking into what the guard has been up to while on “personal leave” with Tuesday’s statement from general manager Sean Marks:
“We are aware of a video on social media featuring Kyrie Irving at a family gathering. We are reviewing the circumstances with both Kyrie and the NBA in order to determine compliance with health and safety protocols.
“Kyrie remains away from the team due to personal reasons. A date of his return has yet to be finalized. In the meantime, we will continue to stay focused on our organizational goals.
“Kyrie will have the opportunity to address his absence when he is ready to do so.”
Following the Nets’ announcement, ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski reported it’s now up to the league when Irving will return — not the guard or the Nets.
