Kyrie Irving said he intends to remain with the Nets beyond this season
After things didn’t go as planned during Irving’s final year with the Celtics, he bolted in free agency for the Nets, where he has played ever since.
Irving is just 30 years old and is playing some of the best basketball of his career. Despite only playing in 20 games this season due to New York City’s vaccine mandate that has not allowed Irving to play in home games as an unvaccinated player, he has still posted great numbers. He is averaging a career-high 28.5 points per game on 49.4% shooting.for local athletes and performers earlier this week, allowing Irving to play in home games the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs.
The Nets enter Saturday night’s game with the Heat with a 38–35 record, which puts them in the eighth spot in the East. With only nine games remaining, Brooklyn is a near surefire participant in the play-in tournament for the playoffs.
