Wed Dec 7 2022 | 22:51 | Kyrie Irving Scores 33 Points On Wednesday |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving finished with 33 points in the win over Charlotte on Wednesday. Although he shot a rough 1-for-7 from deep, he still led both teams in scoring while adding nine assists, five rebounds, and four blocks. This was arguably Irving's best showing since returning from a lengthy suspension. While the 30-year-old isn't the most efficient three-point shooter, he should remain a top fantasy option as long as he stays healthy and out of trouble. |

Wed Nov 16 2022 | 23:13 | Kyrie Irving Could Be Back On Sunday |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (suspension) has a chance of returning on Sunday versus the visiting Grizzlies, according to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski. The multi-time All-Star won't play on Thursday against Portland, his eighth consecutive absence, for failing to apologize for posting a link to an antisemitic film. Outside of Irving's hideous 28.0% shooting from deep, he's had a fantastic season, averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks. Nonetheless, if he's not in the lineup for the meeting with Memphis, Edmond Sumner should continue to benefit, with the 26-year-old logging 11.6 points and 1.7 steals in seven starts in 2022-23. |

Thu Nov 3 2022 | 21:55 | Kyrie Irving Suspended Five Games |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been suspended five games by the organization. The team announced on Thursday that Irving won't receive pay for the next five contests. This comes in the aftermath of Irving not apologizing for the sharing of a movie that has anti-Semitic message on his social media account. This certainly hurts the Nets offense as Kevin Durant will be tasked with carrying the load on offense. Patty Mills also stands to gain plenty of fantasy value without Irving on the court. |

Tue Nov 1 2022 | 22:17 | Kyrie Irving Invisible In Tuesday's Loss |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving did not shoot well in Tuesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Irving went 2-for-12 from the field to score just four points in 33 minutes. Irving blanked from three, but was able to salvage his line with seven assists, six rebounds and a block. This was a complete anomaly from Irving as he has scored at 27 points in six straight games. The Nets do not play until Friday against the Washington Wizards where Irving will be in a prime bounce back spot. |

Fri Oct 28 2022 | 10:48 | Kyrie Irving Scores Team-High 39 Points In Overtime Loss |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving put together a great all-around game in the team's overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The superstar point guard registered 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and four blocks on 14-for-31 shooting. So far, his rebound, steal, and block numbers have been the best in his career. His assists, on the other hand, have taken a hit. As the team still gets accustomed to Ben Simmons and their other scorers get healthy again, we may see Irving's assists increase. For now, fantasy managers can enjoy the added defense with the always elite scoring output. |

Wed Oct 26 2022 | 23:17 | Kyrie Irving Scores 27 Points In Loss To Milwaukee |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving scored 27 points during the loss to the Bucks. Irving had a rough night shooting, going 9-for-21 from the field while failing to make any of his seven tries from deep. However, he did have a season-high nine rebounds, bringing his total to 15 boards in his last two games. Despite the underwhelming three-point shooting, the 30-year-old is one of the best scorers in the NBA, so fantasy managers should continue to benefit as long as he remains healthy. |

Tue Oct 25 2022 | 08:59 | Kyrie Irving Goes Off For 37 Points |
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving put together a second consecutive 30-point performance on Monday, netting 37 points on 14-for-24 shooting in a 134-124 loss to Memphis. This was a real two-man show from the Nets, with Kevin Durant also having 37 points and the rest of the crew combining for only 50 points. Irving went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and finished off his line with eight rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks and three turnovers. The seven-time All-Star has been a busy man early in the season, contributing well across every category. Brooklyn's star duo faces the league's most efficient defense next as the Nets travel to Milwaukee. |

Irving struggled shooting the ball on Wednesday night, going 6-for-19 from the field while failing to make any of his six attempts from deep. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned with the All-Star's shooting performance as he could turn things around, possibly as soon as Friday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. |

Mon Aug 22 2022 | 19:39 | Nets Plan On Keeping Kyrie Irving |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is expected to remain on the roster. The team allowed the multi-time All-Star to seek out a trade this offseason, with the Lakers seemingly having the most realistic shot at acquiring him. However, Brooklyn repeatedly balked at deals surrounding Russell Westbrook and future first-round picks. Without a doubt, the 30-year-old has an impressive fantasy resume, averaging 23.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals throughout his career. Yet, his off-the-court antics have overshadowed his MVP-level play. Nevertheless, Irving has been working out with his Nets teammates over the summer while engaging in meaningful dialogue with the team, so perhaps there's a chance he will turn over a new leaf. |

Fri Aug 19 2022 | 20:52 | Lakers Reportedly Propose New Deal For Kyrie Irving |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving remains on the Lakers' radar. Yet, Brooklyn has already rejected numerous trade proposals for the multi-time All-Star over the last several months. However, with LeBron James becoming increasingly adamant Los Angeles gets more aggressive, the Lakers have reportedly recently offered Russell Westbrook, and the club's coveted 2027 and 2029 first-round picks for his former teammate. The Nets balked at the deal, with the franchise looking to remain in the championship conversation instead of entering another rebuild. Nonetheless, although there is still some time before the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Irving's chances of being moved seemingly decrease as each day passes, which likely won't motivate him to remain on the floor. |

Sun Aug 14 2022 | 22:12 | Kyrie Irving Allegedly Had Interesting Contract Demands |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving opted into his player option for the 2022-23 campaign. However, according to Ric Bucher of FS1, the multi-time All-Star had some interesting demands while attempting to negotiate a new deal with the team, including ensuring he wouldn't be required to play more than 60 games during any given season. He was also reportedly looking for a guarantee he could sit during back-to-back contests. The 30-year-old has been a proven contributor over the years. Yet, he has a reputation for missing time, failing to suit up for an entire season since entering the league in 2011. Although he's not guaranteed to stay in Brooklyn moving forward, fantasy managers in all formats must be cautious before selecting him in drafts heading into October, regardless of where he's playing. |

Thu Aug 4 2022 | 22:10 | Kyrie Irving In Good Place With Nets |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is reportedly in a good place with the organization, according to Ian Begley. The Los Angeles Lakers appear to be the top designation for Irving. Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be much movement on the trade front for the All-Star guard. There is a chance that Irving remains with the organization and plays out his final season in Brooklyn. The Nets are still attempting to move superstar forward Kevin Durant. Irving would be asked to be the top option in Brooklyn, assuming the Nets do move Durant. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens over the next few months. |

Tue Jul 19 2022 | 10:23 | Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving Believe That A Trade Is Unlikely |
Despite all of the drama surrounding Brooklyn Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving this summer, it's looking more and more likely that neither player will be traded. And according to a league source, both Durant and Irving have become aware of this reality. "They know behind the scenes that it's difficult, that it's unlikely to happen," the source said. It's been about three weeks since Durant requested a trade and there has yet to be much movement in terms of a team putting together an offer that would be close to what the Nets are looking for. Irving, meanwhile, has stated that he wants to be a Net. His name has come up often in trade rumors, but none of the rumors have gained any traction. |

Wed Jul 13 2022 | 14:29 | Kyrie Irving Wants To Remain A Net |
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has been the center of trade rumors this summer, but a recent report from the New York Post suggests that he may not be going anywhere. On Tuesday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reported that a source close to Irving told the Post that Irving has every intention of remaining with the Nets, whether or not Kevin Durant is with the team this coming season. Meanwhile, Durant's trade request has been losing a bit of steam lately, due to the fact that the Nets haven't been able to find a suitable trade partner. As a result of both of these developments, it's looking a bit more likely that we could see both stars back in Brooklyn next year despite the media storm that Durant's trade request caused over the past few weeks. |

Mon Jul 4 2022 | 22:47 | Lakers Haven't Made Strong Offer For Kyrie Irving |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving remains on the roster. While several teams are interested in acquiring him, he is on an expiring contract, which somewhat decreases his value. The Lakers have been strongly linked to the multi-time All-Star. However, according to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles hasn't been aggressive in putting together a package. There's always a chance Irving stays in Brooklyn for the last year of his deal, although that's unlikely. Nevertheless, with the start of the regular season over three months away, the Nets aren't in a rush to make anything happen unless the price is right. |

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is still with the team, at least for now. Rumors continue to swirl regarding where the multi-time All-Star will end up next. However, it appears the Sixers aren't looking to acquire him, with FS1's Nick Wright indicating that there is "no appetite for him" in Philadelphia. Wright also revealed that the Lakers are the "only current suitor" for Irving's services, and with LeBron James lobbying hard, he could very well land in Los Angeles. |

Sun Jul 3 2022 | 01:18 | Lakers, Nets Talking Kyrie Irving Deal |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving may get his wish after all, with the Lakers looking to acquire the superstar. It's no secret the 30-year-old wants out of Brooklyn, so the team is "actively engaged in discussions" with L.A., with Russell Westbrook reportedly included as a part of the deal. Without a doubt, Irving has MVP-level talent, averaging 23.1 points, 5.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and shooting 39.3% from deep throughout his career. However, he has been involved in on and off-the-court issues, and a possible reunion with LeBron James will be interesting to watch, especially if they can't co-exist. |

Mon Jun 27 2022 | 21:24 | Kyrie Irving Exercises Player Option |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving exercised his $36.9 million player option on Monday. Irving has all the talent in the world, averaging 23.1 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 39.3% from deep throughout his career. Yet, the multi-time All-Star has been involved in constant on and off-the-court drama over the years, including his refusal to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, which kept him off the floor for most of the 2021-22 season. He's also had issues staying healthy, failing to play an entire year since entering the league in 2011. Nonetheless, Irving's future in Brooklyn remains up in the air. However, no matter what uniform he is wearing moving ahead, he could easily be in the MVP conversation, assuming he stays out of trouble while avoiding injuries at all costs. |

Mon Jun 27 2022 | 16:48 | Kyrie Irving Sign-And-Trade Seems Likely |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has received permission from the team to find a sign-and-trade partner. As of right now, the Los Angeles Lakers appear to be the only team interested in Irving via a sign-and-trade. It's unlikely that the Lakers have anything to offer the Nets to pull Irving from them. The All-Star guard has until Thursday to decline his $36 million player option. After that, Irving would be able to sign with the Lakers for a $6 million exception. This is certainly a headache for the Nets who have seen their juggernaut roster explode in front of their eyes. This saga is likely going to last quite awhile, so fantasy managers should check back in a few days for another update. |

Wed Jun 22 2022 | 20:52 | Years, Not Salary, The Latest Hurdle For Kyrie Irving |
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has a shot at remaining with the team. While the multi-time All-Star and the front office are reportedly in agreement on money, it's rumored both sides can't come to terms on the length of a deal. Irving, who has until June 29 to exercise his $36.9 player option, is a capable fantasy producer. However, constant on and off-the-court drama makes him a risk for any franchise, so Brooklyn is hesitant to sign him to a long-term contract. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old, who has averaged 23.1 points, 5.7 assists, and shot 39.3% from deep during his career, will still garner plenty of fantasy interest, at least from those comfortable with taking a chance on a guy who's missed more than enough time over the years. |
