It appears that the NBA is set to investigate videos that show Nets guard Kyrie Irving breaking COVID-19 protocol at a large gathering last week. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews delivered the news regarding the potential for an investigation into Irving’s actions on Tuesday.
Sources with @Malika_Andrews: As the NBA is expected to begin examining online videos circulating of a maskless Kyrie Irving at a family birthday party, there’s no belief that he will return to the Brooklyn Nets lineup this week.

Wojnarowski followed up that information with another message that framed Irving’s current absence from the Nets’ rotation.
