Kyrie Irving Articles - Page 55

Brooklyn Nets tandem Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are making a case as the best duo in NBA history…at least in terms of scoring. After Kyrie Irving’s explosion on Tuesday that saw him reach 60 points early in the fourth quarter against the Orlando Magic, he and Durant have become the first teammates in NBA […]

Kyrie Irving, take a bow. The mercurial point guard for the Brooklyn Nets just reminded us he’s still one of the most potent scorers in the game. Kyrie Irving poured in 60 points against the Orlando Magic, breaking the Nets franchise record of 57 set by Deron Williams back in 2012. KYRIE 60 PTS. NETS […]

The Brooklyn Nets were on the road Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. That means Kyrie Irving was allowed to play, and play he did. Irving was on fire early, helping the Nets build a massive lead at halftime. In the first half, Irving dropped 41 points on 14-of-19 shooting from the floor. That’s a […]

While MLB is officially back and Spring Training is underway, the New York Mets and New York Yankees were issued a harsh reality check on Tuesday. According to Stefan Bondy, a City Hall spokesperson informed him that the Yankees and Mets will be treated in the same regard as the Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving […]

It has been about five weeks since Sean Marks and the Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves around the NBA by trading away James Harden, just 13 months after ponying up to get him. The story dominated headlines and the entire saga came to a boil on March 10 when the Nets visited the Sixers, winning in […]

After the Brooklyn Nets defeated the New York Knicks 110-107 behind Kevin Durant’s 53-point explosion on Sunday, KD had some pointed words for NYC Mayor Eric Adams. They were motivated by the bizarre scene of Kyrie Irving in the stands at Barclays Center as a spectator, yet not able to suit up and play for […]

The NBA slapped the Brooklyn Nets with a massive fine for violating New York City mandates and the league’s health and safety protocols during Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks. Apparently, the team let Kyrie Irving in the locker room, which should not have happened. Due to the violation, the Nets have been fined […]

The drama surrounding the Brooklyn Nets and the city of New York has reached new heights recently. Despite some of the current vaccination rules being loosened, star Kyrie Irving is still unable to play in home games for the team. It’s led some of his teammates (most notably, Kevin Durant) to call out the city’s […]

Kevin Durant put on a show on Sunday for the Brooklyn Nets. The player many feel is the best in the world came into a matinee vs. Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and the New York Knicks and put on his own personal fireworks display. There was no Kyrie Irving in the game, although bizarrely he […]

Just like all other NBA fans, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is confused as hell on the Kyrie Irving situation with the Brooklyn Nets. Irving was able to attend the Nets’ game against the New York Knicks at Barclays Center on Sunday after previously being restricted due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. However, he was […]

Kevin Durant was his own spectacle on Sunday, dropping 53 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Brooklyn Nets’ showdown with the New York Knicks. KD dominating isn’t the weird part though. It’s that Kyrie Irving was in the stands watching the game as a fan, even though he’s not allowed to play. That […]

For the first time this wild NBA season we’re expecting Kyrie Irving to be in attendance for a Brooklyn Nets home game. Just not while available to play. You know, kind of like like how Ben Simmons made his epic return to Philadelphia, but just on the team’s bench. A “sort of but not really” […]

Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets is still not allowed to play unvaccinated against COVID-19 in New York, but he can enjoy games at Barclays Center as a fan. On Saturday night, Irving was among the thousands in attendance to watch the Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Tech Hokies go at it in the […]

Ever since the blockbuster James Harden-Ben Simmons trade between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers, fans have had March 10 circled on their calendars. The date marked the first time the two teams would face one another since the transaction on February 10. Prices for the regular-season matchup in Philadelphia skyrocketed because of the […]

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets straight up mopped the floor with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. So much so that Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson was confident enough to crown them the kings of the Eastern Conference already. Magic tweeted out after the game, as he is wont to do, […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely insisted this game wasn’t too special. It’s another regular season game they told us over and over. But the energy in the Wells Fargo Center for Nets-Sixers should have told everyone it wasn’t just another game. Not even to a couple seasoned superstar vets like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Former […]

Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving reminded everybody Tuesday why he’s worth all the drama while simultaneously reminding everybody why that drama is so infuriating. While the Nets aren’t in a must-win situation right now, they really needed to come up with a win over the Charlotte Hornets ahead of what will be an […]

The Brooklyn Nets are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the play-in tournament but as of right now, it’s a sad reality. However, actually getting newly-acquired Ben Simmons on the court would be a huge help. The Aussie continues to recover from a back injury that he sustained when he ramped up his […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ stars have downplayed many of the contests we fans would call “big games” so far this season. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving mostly did the same again ahead of tonight’s matchup vs. Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. But because these two teams made a monster trade at the deadline, there’s certainly […]

To say that Kyrie Irving’s time with the Brooklyn Nets has been underwhelming is an understatement. After going through different episodes with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, the point guard’s run with his current team has been more of the same on various fronts, specifically his stand on vaccination. And as the Nets fight […]

The Brooklyn Nets have dealt with a lot of moving pieces within their roster the past few weeks. The team just got Kevin Durant back into the lineup, along with recent trade acquisitions Andre Drummond and Seth Curry. Meanwhile, Ben Simmons has yet to make his season debut as a member of the Nets. Another […]

Kyrie Irving dropped 50 points on 19 shots in a massive win for the Brooklyn Nets, as they defeated LaMelo Ball and the  Charlotte Hornets Monday. But now all eyes turn to the next game on the schedule. The Nets head to Philadelphia March 10, to take on a 76ers squad with whom they just […]

On Tuesday night, Kyrie Irving played arguably the best game of his career. He scored 50 points on 13 for 19 shooting from the field, leading the Brooklyn Nets to a much-needed victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The win snapped the team’s four-game losing streak. Most importantly, it reminded everyone how great Irving is and […]

The Brooklyn Nets no longer have former MVP James Harden in their backcourt, but Kyrie Irving reminded everyone on Tuesday night that he’s a pretty decent guard too. The 7-time All-Star poured in 50 points in what was an incredible display of efficiency that got him in the NBA history books. After the game, Kyrie […]

Following an impressive win over the Chicago Bulls last Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers have arguably their most anticipated matchup of the season coming up on Thursday. They will be hosting Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in a nationally televised matchup. This will be the first time the two teams will square off following the […]

The Charlotte Hornets had a chance to take over the sole possession of the eighth seed on Tuesday night, but they failed. The Brooklyn Nets handed the Hornets their 34th loss of the season, 132-121. To be honest, the game was a lot more of a blowout than it seems. The Hornets were down by […]

Arguably the biggest matchup after the All-Star break has got to be the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Brooklyn Nets. These two teams finally face off on Thursday as James Harden and the Sixers look to mark a win against his former team. As it turns out, however, Harden isn’t exactly hyped about the upcoming matchup. […]

Coming in to Tuesday night’s game versus LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets, Kyrie Irving was only eligible to appear in six more regular season games for the Brooklyn Nets. Just six! So presumably, he knew he needed to make each one count. Irving was an absolute assassin against the Hornets and sent a reminder […]

On Tuesday night, Kyrie Irving reminded everyone that he’s one of the greatest offensive players in the game. The Brooklyn Nets guard dropped as close to a no-sweat 50-point night as you could possibly imagine. Kyrie’s efficiency in carrying the Nets was not only impressive, but it was also nearly unprecedented. His 50 points came […]

On Tuesday night, Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving reminded basketball fans why he is regarded by many to be one of the most talented players to ever lace them up in the NBA. Irving dropped 50 points in Brooklyn’s 132-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets. In the process, Irving accomplished something that only Michael […]

Philadelphia 76ers fans have had March 10 circled on their calendars ever since the team traded Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. They’re hoping for the chance to boo the two-time All-Star who stopped wanting to play for them. Simmons cited mental health struggles as the reason he did not suit up […]

Kevin Durant became just the latest member of the 25,000 career points club, joining an elite list of names. The Brooklyn Nets star did this during their game against the Boston Celtics. It’s an incredible achievement, one that not a lot of former stars can say they’ve ever reached. Kyrie Irving certainly thinks he can […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue a downward trend as they just can’t get a healthy team on the floor. The most impactful absence of their season has been Kyrie Irving. His disinterest in getting vaccinated makes everything hard on these Nets. And the team continues to hope for change from NYC, since they seem to have […]

Kyrie Irving isn’t shy and he isn’t boring that’s for sure. And his description for Boston Celtics fans who boo him and have words for him during games, won’t do much to improve the “relationship” he has with his former fan base. The Brooklyn Nets visited Irving’s former team on Sunday afternoon. But it was […]

Kyrie Irving knows how great of a scorer Kevin Durant is, but even the All-Star guard was in awe after witnessing his Brooklyn Nets teammate become just the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points. The Nets playmaker has nothing but huge praises for Durant, who exploded for 37 points against the Boston […]

In nearly two full seasons, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash has rarely had a fully healthy team. The Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden trio barely took the floor at the same time, resulting in massive disappointment. Swap in Ben Simmons for Harden and things haven’t improved at all yet. The latest timetable for Simmons’ possible […]

Mike Krzyzewski has spent over four decades as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils. He will coach his last regular-season game with the team against North Carolina Saturday night. From 1980 to 2022, Coach K led the team to 1,196 victories, five of them being NCAA Championships. He was offered employment from NBA […]

With how well James Harden has been playing for the Sixers in his first few games for his new team, it’s almost easy to set aside all the drama that led to the former MVP’s shocking move to Philadelphia. It somehow feels like Harden’s decision to force his way out of the Brooklyn Nets happened […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to wreak havoc on businesses across the world, including the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie Irving decided not to be vaccinated against the virus and is unable to play in New York City due to their COVID-19 inoculation mandate. In late February, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that he would […]
