Kyrie Irving is back, but Brooklyn is still wondering which player they will get.

The Nets' excellent guard returned to training two weeks after the mysterious disappearance, held a full training session with Brooklyn yesterday (Tuesday) and is expected to play against Cleveland on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, in what will be Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant's first game together.

The controversial coordinator did not tell in detail about the things he had been through, but it was evident that he was still agitated, sitting quite collected within himself, talking about the need for "balance."

And even when he said "it's time to move on, I'm happy to be back," he did so with a sealed face.

As you may recall, the quarterback who recently played in the Brooklyn uniform on Jan. 6 against Utah did not appear for the Nets' recent "personal reasons" games, and for a few days even Brooklyn coach Steve Nash did not know exactly where he was.

The star was documented at his sister's birthday party in California without a mask and taking part in a banned gathering - for which he was fined $ 50,000 by the NBA.

Yesterday Irving said his absence was due to "personal and family matters", clarified that he "needed a break", noted that he understands the need for "guidance" and that he is merely trying to find balance in something he does not have - "normal life".

He again noted that he was trying to combine basketball with social activism, and then posted an Instagram post in which he was seen pondering and wrote, "I am a human being. I am no different from you. I am recovering."

In Brooklyn, they analyzed Irving's performance, and in "netsdaily" it was written: "It seems that he is looking for the balance, it is not clear if he has already managed to find it."

"A lot of family and personal matters just happened, and that's how I want to leave it," Irving said, refusing to elaborate on what he went through during his absence.

He reiterated that he must "make the distinction between what is happening here and the fact that I play professional basketball and what is happening in the world," and Brooklyn claims: "Irving was very upset by the events in the United States and the riots in Washington, especially given the riots there. The Black Protesters "

Yesterday Kyrie said: "I would be lying if I sat down and said I did not feel what was going on in the world and I did not pay attention to it. I just have a great responsibility to continue to serve my community while I play, and continue to be committed to things that are bigger than us.

" What is happening in the world, socially, is hard to ignore.

I want to make changes.

There are so many oppressed communities.

Much bigger things happen in the world than putting a ball in a ring.

That's the balance, knowing I can fulfill my responsibilities. "

Irving admitted:" There is nothing normal in my life.

This is something I have learned to accept and embrace.

I'm trying to use it to change things I want to see in the world ... The world is a crazy place sometimes, but as long as we tell each other the truth about how we feel, it's a big thing.

And to be real, I have to be honest with myself.

It's a matter of balance.

I called for help.

Now I have many mentors and many people came and took things away from me. "

Meanwhile, in parallel, he also needs to return to the new situation professionally, when he plays alongside another star, James Harden, Brooklyn revitalized. First two games Harden and Kevin Durant proved they get along Bad without him. "I'm very excited," Irving said, "we are all brothers here, and we are building something new, advancing to the next stage." However, Brooklyn knows: "It will be interesting to see him return from the truce to this new and complex situation."
