Kyrie Irving's first year with Nets cut short due to shoulder surgery
Former Duke basketball star Kyrie Irving was hit with more bad news on Thursday as it was announced the superstar will have his season cut short due to shoulder surgery.
Kyrie Irving's first season with his hometown and childhood favorite Brooklyn Nets hasn't gone as planned.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on Thursday afternoon that the former Blue Devil would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
Irving had already missed 26 games with the shoulder injury earlier in the year, and the Nets are looking at the bigger picture as this was not the year the team would compete for an NBA Championship.
