Irving causing “real concern” among those who know him?

The Kyrie Irving saga is raging for the Brooklyn Nets, with a new twist seemingly seemingly every day or with even greater frequency. Now, it’s been learned that the superstar’s enigmatic conduct is quickly becoming a cause for concern among those who know him well.

Irving missed his fourth straight game on Tuesday due to often-cited but nonetheless mysterious “personal reasons”. All signs point to Irving’s absence stretching far longer than the Nets clearly would prefer. The prevailing belief is that he is “not coming back anytime soon.”

According to Joe Vardon of The Athletic, there is now “real concern” within the NBA as to how the Irving situation will or will not resolve itself. To make matters worse, Vardon adds that “not many people inside the NBA know what’s going on with Irving,” adding another wrinkle to the ongoing drama.

Considering the way things have gone over the past week, it’s no surprise that the Nets are starting to feel ‘unhappy’ with Irving as things drag on, and that doesn’t help. not that their contact with him is said to be “minimal”.

The ever-changing situation also involves the NBA’s current investigation into evidence of an Irving without a mask allegedly attending a family celebration. Images of the said party surfaced on social media Monday evening.

Then on Tuesday night, Irving attended a video call launch party for a Manhattan district attorney candidate, according to the New York Post. These events of the last few days come at the same time that Irving would have been “Off-grid” when it comes to his interactions with the Nets.

It all adds up to a complete mess for the Nets. Irving is arguably one of the most mercurial players in the NBA, let alone one of the league’s most complex stars, which makes the situation a lot harder to read.

Still, Kevin Durant insisted earlier this week that the Nets support Irving “100%” despite the distractions, but one has to wonder how long that support can last given the way things continue to be. evolve in such a disturbing way.
