KYRIE IRVING NEWS

Pops for 29 against Heat Irving scored a game-high 29 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block in 41 minutes during Saturday's 115-111 loss to the...

Impact Twenty of his 29 points came in the fourth quarter as Irving and the Nets staged a desperate rally to try and avoid their 11th straight loss, but the comeback fell short. The 29-year-old guard doesn't have much support around him when he is in the lineup with neither Kevin Durant (knee) nor Ben Simmons (personal) having a clear timetable for when they might be ready to get back on the court, but Irving is thriving in the spotlight, averaging 25.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.5 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over his last 10 games dating back to Jan. 19.

Puts up double-double in loss Irving had 27 points (10-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Irving was 11-for-35 from the field over the previous two games, but he busted out of the mini-slump Sunday, though it wasn't enough to get Brooklyn back in the win column. The 29-year-old will be sidelined for Tuesday's home matchup with the Celtics due to his vaccination status, but he should be back on the court for Thursday's road game versus the Wizards. Washington D.C. has a vaccine requirement in place at Capital One Arena, but the mandate doesn't apply to unvaccinated players on visiting teams like the Nets.
