Kyrie Irving is away from the Brooklyn Nets for personal reasons according to multiple outlets. This news dropped mere hours before the Nets were set to tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
The reason for Irving’s absence is unclear and even his head coach, Steve Nash, was not able to contact him as of his pregame press conference. According to Joe Vardon of The Athletic, his return to the team is still unknown at this point.
