Kyrie Irving sat out the Brooklyn Nets' come-from-behind win over Washington on Saturday night, a day after he told the team he would like to be traded.
The Nets said Irving's absence was due to right calf soreness, adding him to the injury report for their game against Washington. Irving had not been listed on the report Friday night or Saturday morning.
He wouldn't speculate if Irving would be available for the Nets' two remaining games before the trade deadline Thursday afternoon. Irving asked the Nets for a trade Friday, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press. The All-Star has been frustrated that the Nets have thus far refused to give him an extension on his contact that expires after this season.
"Our conversations were more than basketball," said Vaughn. "Life, checking in on them. I never want to speculate how a player feels. Their feelings are their feelings. And I'll always validate that. ... So I won't speculate."
