NBA fans on Twitter lash onto Kyrie Irving after worrying update
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has had a rocky start to his career at Brooklyn Nets. Last season, he missed a lot of home games owing to a mandate which disallowed unvaccinated players to play. Irving had refused to take the vaccine owing to his personal choice.
Moreover, he has been part of a major controversy recently. He posted the link to a controversial anti-semitic film on his Twitter account which urged the team to suspend him for five games. Nike has also suspended ties with Irving and called off the launch of Kyrie 8.
Amidst all this, The Athletic interviewed some GMs and executives from the league. Their confessions about Irving are certainly worrying as one GM said, “I think Kyrie might not play in the NBA again.”

Wouldn't be shocking. He's shown for a while now that it's not his biggest priority. And there are not going to be very many teams now that would put up with his crap. The less elite he gets, the fewer suitors

Shid he accomplished everything 🤷🏾♂️ him retiring wouldn’t be a bad idea especially with the requirements they want for him to play on the nets either that or go to a different team

I don’t like Kyrie but we say this everytime he has a scandal, he’ll be back in a Brooklyn uniform probably sooner then we all think lol

He’ll be back maybe it’ll take longer than 5 games but he will be back

Irving has had a decent start to the season. Despite all the controversies off the court, he has put up respectable numbers for the team. He averages 26.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 8 games this season.
