Report: Nets are under no pressure to extend Kyrie Irving

Brooklyn Nets’ All-Star guard Kyrie Irving is solidifying his case for a significant contract extension with his best stretch of basketball in years.

Over his last seven games, Irving is averaging 34.9 points, 7.6 assists and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 50.9 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three-point zone.

His outstanding play has allowed the Nets to stay afloat after Kevin Durant went down with an MCL sprain to his right knee. The Nets currently hold a 4-6 record since Durant’s injury and 4-5 when Irving played.

It’s no wonder why Irving’s camp is pushing for extension talks.
