Prior to the Brooklyn Nets’ eventual Sunday win over the Memphis Grizzlies, a large group of protesters had stormed outside the Barclays Center to deliver their support for Kyrie Irving.

Irving has made his return to the team after missing eight games following an indefinite suspension by the Nets due to his controversial denial of personal antisemitic stances. The All-Star guard has reportedly completed all the prerequisites of the franchise and already made an apology on Saturday via SNY.

According to several reports, a large group of Black Hebrew Israelites on behalf of Israel United in Christ (IUIC) have gathered to celebrate Irving’s return. The rallyists were seen chanting and expressing their strong regard for the embattled star.

In his return, Irving went off with 14 points and five boards.
