As Greg Logan first reported in Newsday Friday night, Kyrie Irving’s decision not to speak to reporters during “Media Week” is a one-time thing and that the Nets point guard anticipates doing “traditional media” during the season. That would suggest that the Nets guard will engage with the media before and after games and after practice.
While others read Irving’s statement, issued Friday afternoon as saying he plans to boycott the media for the 2020-21 season, Logan reached out to spokespersons for the Nets and Irving, quoting them as saying Irving’s decision to issue a statement rather than take questions this week was not some blanket media boycott.
