ANALYSIS: Irving's statement is not too suprising as it was a bit unexpected to see a player of his caliber actually be held out for such a long period of time.

Irving is returning to the team now where he will be eligible to play away games.

The outspoken point guard is still prepared to bring the Nets a championship, saying “We want to strike while the iron is hot.”
