Kyrie Irving (groin) set to return Friday for Nets against Trail Blazers
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Irving was held out of the front end of the back-to-back with a sore groin. Kevin Durant has been ruled out for Friday's contest for left hamstring injury management, so Irving will take charge of the offense. Tyler Johnson could wind up drawing another start with Durant sidelined.
Kyrie is averaging 49.3 FanDuel points per game without Durant this season, compared to 41.1 when Durant is active. Kyrie has a $9,800 salary on Friday's eight-game slate.
