Kyrie Irving Got Personal Reasons Not Playing Against The Sixers

Kyrie Irving Got Personal Reasons Not Playing Against The Sixers

Without the services of Kevin Durant , the Brooklyn Nets will play their second game of at least three as they host the Sixers.


Due to being a close interaction of someone who tested positive, the star forward is in COVID-19 protocols. Durant publicized back in March he had tested positive, but still has to reappear seven consecutive negative tests under league rules.

Brooklyn throttled the Jazz on Tuesday in their first Durant-less game, but the challenge against Philadelphia, which holds the league’s best record, will be even more difficult than anticipated as they will likewise be without Kyrie Irving (who led the team with 29 points on Tuesday). Irving was a surprise addition to the injury report, as he is simply listed as out due to personal reasons.

Nets @HSpecialSurgery Status Report for tonight:

Claxton (right knee tendinopathy) – OUT

Durant (health and safety protocols) – OUT

Dinwiddie (partially torn ACL, right knee) – OUT

Irving (personal reasons) – OUT

Perry (left groin soreness) – OUT

Steve Nash was asked about Irving’s absence in his pregame media availability and said he had just found out about Irving not being available and had not yet gotten a reply from the star point guard.

Steve Nash says he just found out about Kyrie Irving’s absence. He reached out to Irving and the guard hasn’t responded yet. #Nets#NBA

From a basketball perspective, it’s obviously a significant loss for the Nets going up against a fellow top team in the East. Nash has been pretty adamant about keeping Caris LeVert with the second unit even after losing Spencer Dinwiddie and on Tuesday against the Jazz, but it’s possible that without Irving or Durant he gets moved into the starting group — Bruce Brown got the start next to Irving against Utah.
