The seven-time National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star on Saturday issued his most direct apology since he was handed the suspension on November 3, telling local sports network SNY that he had been on a "learning journey" and was not anti-Semitic.
He apologised again to reporters Sunday as the team confirmed he had been cleared to play.
"Kyrie took ownership of his journey and had conversations with several members of the Jewish community," the Nets said in a statement.
"We are pleased that he is going about the process in a meaningful way."
The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) said it supported Irving's return to the court.
"Through meetings and conversations with leaders from the Jewish community as well as other thought leaders he's developed a deeper understanding and has grown personally from this experience," the players union said in a statement.
