Stats

Kyrie Irving, 30, averaged 27.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.4 rebounds last season. He only played 29 games in the regular season. This is due to the decision not to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Because of this, Irving was ineligible to play in New York for most of the season. Due to the city’s mandatory vaccinations for employees and players, the Brooklyn Nets resisted him being a part-time player until January.

When he was able to play, Irving reminded everyone how talented he was. As can be seen in March and April. He scored at least 40 points in four games, including 60 during his victory over the Orlando Magic on March 15.
