Welcome back to the show that never ends.
The Nets and Kyrie Irving are at an “impasse,” according to The Athletic. NBA insider Shams Charania reports talks between the Nets and the mercurial point guard have “gone stagnant.” The current state of play is said to make it more likely Irving will elect to become a free agent this summer. He has until June 29 to exercise a one-year player option to stay with the Nets.
Charania also reports the Knicks — along with the Clippers and Lakers — are expected to pursue Irving if he leaves the Nets.
