Appearing on the Pat McFee Show Thursday, Shams Charania gave Nets fans little hope of a Kyrie Irving return to Brooklyn, saying of the absent superstar, “Kyrie Irving is nowhere closer to getting the vaccine & he’s not gonna play basketball unless he gets traded.”
Shams also noted that “there haven’t been many offers as of yet” for Irving from other teams.
Both Charania and Ian Begley reported Friday that the Nets have been taking calls on Irving but neither indicated if the Nets were making them as well. Adrian Wojnarowski said two weeks ago that the Nets were indeed in passive mode.
