Submits 60-point masterpiece Irving tallied a career-high and franchise-record 60 points (20-31 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 12-13 FT) to go with six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block across 35 minutes Tuesda... Impact One night after Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns posted an NBA season-high 60 points, Irving matched that feat, doing so while establishing a new season high in steals. Irving poured in 41 of his points in the first half, clearing the 35-point mark for the third time in five games in the process. Despite a delayed start to the season before the Nets elected to make him a part-time player, Irving has been just as effective as he had been in his first two seasons in Brooklyn. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Irving won't be back in action again until March 23 in Memphis, as he's ineligible to compete during Brooklyn's upcoming three-game homestand while the vaccine requirement remains in effect at the Barclays Center for all Nets players and employees.
