The LA Clippers have joined the pursuit of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns -- among others -- have been engaging with the Nets since Irving's trade demand on Friday, sources said. And now the Clippers - who've been in the trade market for a point guard -- are probing a possible deal too, sources said.
Irving has not given the Nets a list of preferred destinations, but there's a strong mutual interest with him and the Lakers that goes back to the summer.
