Kyrie Irving did not travel with the team to Philadelphia for Monday’s preseason game against the Sixers. Irving, who has yet to play for Brooklyn in the preseason, was left in Brooklyn, officially listed as “Irving (not with team) - OUT.”
Steve Nash, said the decision to leave Irving at home was about the uncertainty of Irving’s situation, that the team is still figuring things out as new details and developments, not further described, arise. So, the team will be taking its time. There was speculation that Irving may have stayed behind because until Friday he wasn’t permitted to join his teammates in practice at HSS Training Center.
