Kyrie Irving made his long-awaited return to TD Garden on Friday night, and he didn't waste any time making his presence felt.

The former Boston Celtics guard took time before the C's-Nets matchup to burn herbs while walking around the venue. Irving has opened up before about his Native American roots at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota.

Celtcs-Nets is set to tip off at 8 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston. Be sure to tune in to Celtics Pregame Live before the game for a preview of the matchup, and Celtics Postgame Live immediately after the final buzzer for a complete breakdown of the game.
