Nets unwilling to give Kyrie Irving long-term contract extension, per report

To say the Brooklyn Nets’ season was a disappointment would be a massive understatement. This is a team that, entering the season, was considered a title favorite. But instead Brooklyn was swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics — leaving the Nets as the only team this postseason that didn’t win a single game.

Several factors played into that outcome, as James Harden’s forced trade to the Philadelphia 76ers left the Nets down a star player as their return piece of Ben Simmons didn’t suit up for a single game. Then there’s the even bigger factor that Kyrie Irving played in just 29 games this season due partly because of New York City’s vaccine mandate, and also because of the Nets’ unwillingness to have him play in road games until January. There was also Kevin Durant’s MCL injury that forced him to miss over a month and a half of games.
