All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has reportedly asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade after talks about a new contract did not go to his liking. The news broke on Friday via ESPN and the Athletic, sending shockwaves through the NBA.
Irving, who joined the Nets in 2019 as part of a high-profile free agency class that also included Kevin Durant, has been a key player for the team when he is on the court. However, injuries and off-court distractions have limited his availability and effectiveness this season, and his future with the team now appears uncertain.
