NEW YORK -- Kyrie Irving will not travel with the Brooklyn Nets on their upcoming three-game road trip while he deals with a family matter, the team announced Monday morning.
Irving will miss Brooklyn's games against the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Pistons.
The Nets are already short-handed. Kevin Durant has been sidelined since Feb. 13 with a hamstring strain but is getting closer to returning, coach Steve Nash said. They will also be without Landry Shamet, who has emerged as a key player off the bench. Shamet sprained his right ankle against the Wizards on Sunday and will not travel with the team on Monday, although his MRI did not show significant damage, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
