Ever since the Brooklyn management took the call not to allow Kyrie to play for them, he has been posting a set of cryptic messages on social media. The star guard never really threatened retirement, but hasn’t been seen on-court for a long time. Recently however, reports emerged that the starlet will be returning, as early as the beginning of 2022. If he changes his mind with regard to choice, the Nets will allow him back for sure.

In a latest Instagram story, Irving has teased a potential return. He is seen trying on basketball sneakers, which could mean that he is eyeing a return to the court.

On the other hand, his ultimate dream is to win the NBA Championship, and a return may just be his only way to achieving that. He puts on some custom white sneakers, along with what seems like full basketball attire.

Rest assured, Kyrie Irving has dropped a huge hint on his return. When do you think the experienced campaigner will make his awaited return? In addition, will it be for Brooklyn, or someone else? It’s going to be an interesting set of days!
