Drops 30 points in loss Irving supplied 30 points (11-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 136-125 loss to the Timberwolves. Impact Irving has appeared in each of the last four games during the Nets' road trip, scoring at least 24 points in each of those four outings. The 29-year-old led the Nets on the scoreboard Sunday to boost his averages to 27.8 points, 6.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game over the course of the road trip. With the Nets returning home to begin the week, Irving will sit out Tuesday against the Lakers and Wednesday against the Nuggets due to New York City's local vaccine mandate. He should return to action Saturday, when the Nets head to California for a matchup with the Warriors.
