According to ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Kyrie Irving will not be traveling with the Brooklyn Nets over the next week. The All-NBA point guard is still dealing with a shoulder injury that has kept him out of action for more than a month.
Brooklyn has upcoming games against the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Kenny Atkinson and the rest of the Nets organization has been tight-lipped about Irving’s status, but his absence on the road trip indicates that the point guard’s return is far from imminent.
On the bright side, Caris LeVert will travel with the team and he appears to be much closer to rejoining his teammates.
