Unable to get a new contract, Kyrie Irving is looking for a new address. The All-Star guard has asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade, a person with knowledge of the details said Friday.
Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Detroit Pistons Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 in New York. The All-Star guard has asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade, a person with knowledge of the details said Friday.
Irving is eligible for a contract extension, but the Nets refused to give him one last summer. Irving's agent and stepmother, Shetellia Irving, told Bleacher Report last week that she had reached out to the Nets regarding a new deal. Kyrie Irving -- whose current deal with the Nets expires after this season -- is eligible for a four-year contract worth as much as US$200 million.
The Nets -- coming off a 43-point loss at Boston on Wednesday -- open a five-game homestand Saturday against Washington. Irving isn't listed on their injury report, meaning he is available to play. They play six of their last seven games before the All-Star break at home; the only "road" game in that stretch is at the New York Knicks.
Irving is playing well in Durant's absence, averaging 30.3 points in the last 10 games. Perhaps that would interest teams who were reluctant to make a deal for Irving last summer, when he acknowledged he didn't find much of a market because of his perceived unreliability. He was suspended by the Nets for what became eight games earlier this season after the team said it was dismayed by his repeated failure to "unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs." That came shortly after Irving refused to issue the apology that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver sought for posting a link to an antisemitic work on his Twitter feed.
