Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers (2015)
Model: Nike Kyrie 1 iD
Stat Line: 12 Points, 4 Assists, 1 Rebound
The growing consensus prior to the start of the 2015-2016 NBA season was that Kyrie Irving would be shelved until Christmas. In sports, those timetables can be a bit fickle and tend to vary upon teams’ reluctancy to put their star players at risk (i.e. Derrick Rose circa 2013). However, Kyrie would make his way back to the hardwood ahead of schedule as the Cavaliers were set to take one the Philadelphia 76ers.
In a rather poignant tweet, Irving would simply proclaim that he’s “back” on the eve of the game. Shaking off the rust, Kyrie would unveil his latest Nike Kyrie 2 silhouette and tally 12 points in his return.
