Guard Kyrie Irving is set to be cleared to play on Sunday by the Brooklyn Nets as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Irving had missed the last seven games, and will have missed eight by the time the Nets play Memphis. The guard was suspended by the Nets after had shared a link to a film with antisemitic views on social media. Irving then failed to apologize to people of the Jewish faith despite being given multiple chances to do so.

• Irving must apologize for posting a link to a documentary containing antisemitic material. He also must condemn the movie.
• Irving must make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes.
• Irving must receive sensitivity training.
• Irving must take training to educate himself on antisemitism.
• Irving must meet with the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish leaders.
• Irving must meet with Nets owner Joseph Tsai to demonstrate his understanding of the issues.
