Kyrie Irving Articles - Page 61

We’re approaching tipoff before the showdown between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets. The 27-11 Bulls, led by stars DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, have a 2.5-game lead in the standings over Kevin Durant and the Nets. Brooklyn lost both matchups to Billy Donovan’s unit so far. But […]

The Brooklyn Nets saga with star guard Kyrie Irving, who is unwilling to get the COVID-19 vaccine, took a big twist when it was announced that Irving would be able to play in road games for the franchise. Now, according to the NY Daily News, there is a way that the Nets star could play […]

Nassir Little has made himself a fixture of the Portland Trail Blazers’ present and future this season by living up to Chauncey Billups’ demand that he’s always the hardest-working player on the floor. No one on Portland’s roster comes close to matching Little’s blend of all-around explosiveness and positional length. But it’s his commitment to […]

The Brooklyn Nets seem like they need a break. At least most of them. Ten dudes at once in health and safety protocols about a month ago, bringing back Kyrie Irving part-time and whatever distraction that sparked, and now James Harden dinging up his knee a little bit are just some of the issues this […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a rather unusual set of circumstances for their game in Portland versus the Trailblazers. They played in overtime on Sunday at home where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-119. But then they had to hop a six-hour cross country flight for a back-t0-back in Oregon. Not everyone was able to […]

The depleted Portland Trail Blazers pulled off one of the most stunning wins of the regular season on Monday, beating Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets 114-108 at Moda Center for a second straight victory. Playing without starting guards Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy-injury management), C.J. McCollum (right lung pneuomthorax) and Norman Powell (health-and-safety […]

The Brooklyn Nets have the second game of a back-to-back on the road to take on the Portland Trailblazers who are still missing Damian Lillard due to an abdominal injury.

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak at home after fending off a scrappy San Antonio Spurs team 121-119 in overtime on Sunday afternoon. Of course, Kyrie Irving (ineligible to play at home) was out and so was Joe Harris (still without timeline for return from ankle surgery). The Nets actually […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a lot riding on a Sunday afternoon tipoff. Coming off a five-game home losing streak, they were desperate to shake the narrative that they really struggle at home. Of course, there’s more to unpack with that story as Kyrie Irving, now back as a part-time player, cannot help them in Brooklyn. […]

The Brooklyn Nets assembled one of the greatest big threes in NBA history. 2019 offseason additions Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were joined by James Harden. While it has not gone to plan, completely, the Nets are still powerhouses of the Eastern Conference. They were one three-pointer away from the NBA Finals last season, and […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially in a slump. Having lost four of their last five games, the only recent game the team won was a road match versus the Indiana Pacers, which happened to be Kyrie Irving’s season debut. James Harden came back from health and safety protocols on Christmas Day and went nuclear in […]

Kyrie Irving has come back to the Brooklyn Nets… kind of. The team welcomed back Irving on a “part-time” basis due to New York’s mandate on unvaccinated employees. As such, Kyrie was nowhere to be seen during the Nets’ clash against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. After the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked about […]

The Milwaukee Bucks came to town and handled business easily against the Brooklyn Nets, winning 121-109.  Kevin Durant was his usual MVP self, but he didn’t get the type of help he needed to hold off Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the reigning champs. Durant finished with 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. […]

Fresh off a win in Kyrie Irving’s return, a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers, Kevin Durant, James Harden and company were back in Brooklyn to host the reigning champs, the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks, led as always by Giannis Antetokounmpo, are 25-15.  But fans are still getting used to the […]

The Brooklyn Nets welcomed back Kyrie Irving to the team on Wednesday, albeit on a “part-time” basis.

The Brooklyn Nets traveled to take on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Normally that game wouldn’t garner much national attention. But it was Kyrie Irving’s first game of the season. All eyes were on the 6’2” guard who missed the first 35 games of the year because he’s not yet vaccinated. The Nets initially decided […]

The Brooklyn Nets are 24-12 after another road win, this one a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are now 24-12, 1.5 games behind the first place Chicago Bulls.

Kyrie Irving has returned. After missing the first 35 games of the season, the player who signed with the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019 along with Kevin Durant, is back in action. By now you know why he was out. The Duke product is not vaccinated for COVID-19, and in New York City […]

Kyrie Irving finally made his season debut with the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, and he made sure to honor the one who made it possible for him to be there: his dad.

Coming off of their worst loss of the season, the Brooklyn Nets look to regroup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

There were times this didn’t feel very likely.

The long wait for Kyrie Irving’s return to action for the Brooklyn Nets is about to be over.
