Thu Aug 4 202222:10Kyrie 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 202210:23Kevin 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 202214:29Kyrie 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 202222:47Lakers 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.

Sun Jul 3 202221:30Sixers Not Interested In Kyrie Irving
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 202201:18Lakers, 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 202221:24Kyrie 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 202216:48Kyrie 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 202220:52Years, 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.

Mon Jun 20 202220:45Kyrie Irving And Brooklyn At A Crossroads
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving might be on his way out. With rumblings that the relationship between Irving and the organization is damaged beyond repair, it's no longer a foregone conclusion that the All-Star will exercise his $36.9 million player option. Instead, he may test his luck in free agency, although Brooklyn still has the ability to pay him more than any other club. Perhaps a sign and trade could be in the works, with the Lakers and Knicks emerging as potential landing spots for the veteran. Without a doubt, the 30-year-old is one of the most impactful offensive options in the NBA, averaging 23.1 points throughout his career. However, constant on and off-the-court drama continues to follow him, and he's also had a tough time staying healthy over the years. As a result, managers in all formats should proceed with caution if he's available during fantasy drafts heading into 2022-23.

Sun May 29 202212:16Teams Believe Kyrie Irving Could Be Sign-And-Trade Candidate
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving could turn down a $36.5 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Yet, if that happens, teams throughout the league believe a sign-and-trade scenario could become a possibility. Irving averaged 27.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. However, his unwillingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine kept him off the floor for most of the year. Nonetheless, there will surely be more to come involving this situation. While Irving has proven to be one of the best players in the league, his inability to remain on the court over the years significantly reduces his fantasy outlook moving ahead.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving had his entire offensive game working during Sunday's loss to the Celtics, as he finished with a game-best 39 points on 12-for-20 shooting, including knocking down six triples. While playing a whopping 42 minutes, Irving was able to pack his stat line with six assists, five rebounds, and four steals, a performance reminiscent of his 39-point outing in Game 4 of last year's first-round matchup between the two teams. With Kevin Durant shooting 9-for-24 overall, Irving stepped into lead offensive duties, with Goran Dragic being the only other member of Brooklyn to log double-digit shot attempts. Irving is likely to shoulder as much of the offensive load as he can handle during the series, which picks up again Wednesday.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't be available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving is ineligible to play home games due to his vaccination status. There are rumors that Irving could become a full-time player soon, but who knows when that will happen. Until then, James Harden and Kevin Durant will run the show while Irving is sidelined. Also, Patty Mills should see a boost in value with Irving unavailable for Saturday. Both Harden and Durant should be popular DFS options for Saturday's slate.

Wed Jan 12 202219:24Kyrie Irving Will Play Against Bulls
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's contest, which made his status for this contest uncertain. However, the Nets play two straight home games after this game, so Irving won't be available for those contests. It sounds like he'll tough it out here and take a few days off after Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers should make sure Irving is back in their lineups on Wednesday.

Tue Jan 11 202217:41James Harden, Kyrie Irving Questionable To Play Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden (knee) and point/shooting guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) have both been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls. Harden missed Monday's game, but there is optimism around a potential return to action, while Irving is facing a two-game absence after Wednesday due to his inability to play home games. If one or the other misses the matchup with Chicago, Kevin Durant's already enormous DFS appeal would increase, while Patty Mills and Cameron Thomas would become upside plays as well. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on Harden and Irving's respective statuses.
