Kyrie Irving Articles - Page 61

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving returned to Cleveland on Monday and dropped 27 points in a loss to the Cavaliers, but it didn’t come without controversy. Irving was seen clapping back at a courtside fan who was heckling him and because of the guard’s NSFW comments, he’s been fined $25,000 by the NBA: The following […]

The Brooklyn Nets went into the nation’s capital without their best player Kevin Durant being available to play. The Nets must get used to life without their MVP candidate, as Durant is out for at least a month recovering from an MCL sprain. In a surprise twist from the typical narrative, the Nets are actually […]

The Brooklyn Nets headed down to take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. They came out with energy and once led by 16 points, but it still came down to the wire. They’ll leave the capital with a 119-118 win in what felt like a playoff type atmosphere at Capital One Arena. Kevin Durant […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center Thursday night. The Nets have been without star Kevin Durant for two games now as he rehabs from a sprained MCL. So that makes this next question all the more vital: Is Kyrie Irving playing vs Spurs? Is Kyrie Irving […]

Kyrie Irving had his best game of the season on Wednesday as the Brooklyn Nets edged out the Washington Wizards, 119-118. After his eyebrow-raising performance, the seven-time All-Star made sure to give back a little to a lucky young fan that was in attendance at Washington’s Capital One Arena. After the game, Kyrie handed his […]

Kyrie Irving, James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets pulled off a hard-fought victory on the road against the Washington Wizards with a little help from the sidelines. As the tight Wizards-Nets game approached the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, Kyle Kuzma had a routine pass go off his hands and right into the […]

There has been a ton of reporting recently on the possibility of James Harden reuniting with his former GM Daryl Morey as part of a blockbuster Harden-Ben Simmons sign-and-trade this coming offseason. With Kyrie Irving serving as a part-time player and Kevin Durant now dealing with an MCL sprain which figures to sideline him through […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Washington Wizards Wednesday at Capital One arena. The Nets have played all but four games without Kyrie Irving this season, but things always seem to be in flux with this squad right now, so it leads us to the type of question which has been key all […]

Kyrie Irving has finally made it back to the court after a rather eventful start to the season to stay the least. The Brooklyn Nets guard made it just in time for the team’s visit to his old stomping grounds. Throughout the Nets’ road contest against the Cleveland Cavalier, Kyrie Irving had to deal with […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is still trying to regain his bearings after sitting out for an extended period. Aside from his stern refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, he also got shelved for months due to a right ankle injury he suffered in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. Irving landed on the foot of Giannis […]

Hoops fans were witnesses to a scary sight on Saturday when Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant limped off the floor during their game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Midway through the second quarter, Bruce Brown fell towards Durant’s legs, forcing the two-time Finals MVP’s knees to buckle in an awkward way. Durant tried to walk […]

The Brooklyn Nets headed to Ohio to battle Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It would be the first full game they would play without their superstar Kevin Durant since he sprained his MCL during the home win versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Since this one was not in […]

On Saturday night, the sports world held its collective breath when Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant suffered an apparent knee injury. Durant, who leads the NBA in points per game and has been very much in the running for his second regular-season MVP, went down midway through the second quarter of a win vs. the […]

The Brooklyn Nets had little trouble dusting the New Orleans Pelicans, 120-105. Steve Nash and co. came into the game with two available members of their Big 3 in Kevin Durant and James Harden. Kyrie Irving is healthy, but remains out since he is not vaccinated and cannot play at home. It was a very […]

The Brooklyn Nets recently had a taste of what it’s like to have their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all available for a recent game versus the Chicago Bulls. That 138-112 victory was their best win of the year so far, allowing them to climb back to third in the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are set to face the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Saturday night. The Nets have been without star Kyrie Irving all season for home games as he is ineligible to play in New York City. As an unvaccinated player, he can’t perform in venues like NBA arenas in New York. […]

At 26-15, the Brooklyn Nets are currently tied with the Miami Heat (as of Friday afternoon) for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Durant and Co. haven’t exactly been dominating the NBA of late, but there’s no denying that the return of Kyrie Irving, albeit for road games, has and will continue to […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really crammed schedule lately. Kyrie Irving returned for the Pacers game, his first of the season back on Jan. 5th. That almost seems like months ago listening to the Nets talk in the post-game. They’ve played six games in 9 evenings, including an overtime win over the Spurs at […]

The return of Kyrie Irving feels like a shot in the arm for the Brooklyn Nets. The trio of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is probably the most talented in the NBA and the Nets’ campaign should only get better as the season progresses. While Irving can only suit up in select games on […]

The Brooklyn Nets are undoubtedly happy to have Kyrie Irving back in the mix for road games, but on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the organization is actually very optimistic he could return to the team on a full-time basis. However, the only way this could happen is if Nets owner Joe Tsai and the […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is only eligible to play in road games right now, but there is a firm belief that could change as the season rolls on. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the organization is feeling optimistic about having Kyrie available as a full-time player once again: Woj says there’s “real optimism within […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets entered Wednesday’s huge road game against the Chicago Bulls with a bit of an annoying trend they’ve had to field questions about for most of the season: they hadn’t beaten any elite teams. That’s over with after their 138-112 evisceration of the top-seeded Bulls. Before the most recent victory […]

Sometimes superstar athletes seem like a completely different species. Other times they seem a bit like the rest of us. After Kyrie Irving’s third game back since being reinstated by the Brooklyn Nets, the seven-time All-Star opened up with reporters about his routine for viewing Nets games he’s not (yet) eligible to play in. Of […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Barclays Center on Thursday night. The Nets had their big three Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving available for the stunning 138-112 slaying over the Bulls. We don’t expect Kyrie Irving to appear in the next game since it’s in Brooklyn where he […]

The Brooklyn Nets just reminded everyone of how dangerous they can be. With a complete lineup of stars in a marquee matchup against the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls, they pounded them to the ground in a 112-138 win. Having Kyrie Irving back has been a huge boost for the Nets, both for his on-court […]

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. The Nets are now 25-13, 1.5 games behind the top seeded Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference. That’s the very team they’re set to play […]

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. Jrue Holiday was out, in health and safety protocols. For the Nets, of course, Kyrie Irving was out for the game in […]
