Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry will start in place of the injured Kyrie Irving (calf) on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Curry is coming off a 23-point effort and should be a good plug-and-play option for fantasy and DFS. Irving's absence is not expected to be long-term and the team is hopeful he can play on Thursday.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) will not play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Irving was a late addition to the injury report on Tuesday with calf soreness and the injury will cost him at least one game. With Irving unable to go, the Nets will likely have their pick of Seth Curry, Ben Simmons or give extra minutes to Edmond Sumner, Seth Curry and Ben Simmons. Irving should be considered questionable moving forward until the calf soreness subsides.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) is questionable to play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Irving is listed with calf soreness, something that wasn't reported until later on Tuesday. Late additions to the injury report are never a good sign as Irving likely tweaked it at some point. If Irving sits, look for Seth Curry and Ben Simmons to pick up the extra minutes at point guard.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving regained his scoring form against Cleveland on Monday, notching 32 points on 11-for-19 shooting in a 125-117 win. Seven of his makes came with 11 attempts from outside, and Kyrie also posted four rebounds and five assists with three turnovers in 40 minutes. This was a great bounce-back effort from a mediocre 18-point outing he had last Friday against Milwaukee. The game against the Bucks marks one of only two games with fewer than 30 points for Irving in his past seven appearances. The team is playing some superb stuff right now and Irving's hot spell should continue into the New Year.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving finished with 18 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus Milwaukee. The multi-time All-Star had another rough shooting night, going 6-for-18 from the field while netting three of his seven tries from downtown. He also had nine rebounds, one shy of giving him a double-double, and six assists. The 30-year-old has played well his season, averaging 26.1 points. More importantly, he's stayed relatively healthy. With the Nets now having won their last eight contests, they will hit the road for three games, starting with a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday evening.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. During warmups, Irving experienced tightness in his calf, so head coach Jacque Vaughn opted for the safe approach and keep him out. In the meantime, Ben Simmons will take over at the one, with Edmond Sumner expected to get extra minutes in relief.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving hit a game-winning triple to complete a 32-point night against Toronto on Friday. The two teams were set for overtime when Scottie Barnes hit a pair of free throws with eight seconds left, but Kyrie had other plans, sinking his third triple of the night to make it a 119-116 Brooklyn victory. He shot 13-for-22 overall from the field and added three rebounds and five assists to his line with one turnover in 35 minutes. That's now three 30-point efforts in four games for Kyrie, who has shown that he's a superb player when he keeps himself fully focused on basketball. With the struggling Pistons next on the schedule, Irving's scoring run should continue for at least one more game.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (adductor) won't play on Saturday in Indiana. The 30-year-old logged 39 minutes in the win over Atlanta on Friday. But with the Nets starting a four-game road trip, he's probably getting the night off before presumably returning on Monday in Washington. In the meantime, Edmond Sumner will likely fill the void in the lineup. With Kevin Durant (knee), Ben Simmons (knee, calf), Joe Harris (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle), and Nicolas Claxton also out, Sumner will make a fine streaming option, and his defensive prowess is a bonus for category managers.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving logged his first double-double of the season on Friday, and he did it with rebounds in a 120-116 victory over Atlanta. Kevin Durant led the way with 34 points and Irving supported him with 33 points and a team-high 11 rebounds. In 39 minutes of action, Irving also picked up three assists with six turnovers. He shot 11-for-21 from the field, including 5-for-9 from three-point land. Off-court drama hasn't kept Kyrie from enjoying his basketball this season, as he's averaging 25.3 points per game with 4.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and a career-high 1.1 blocks. He's recorded 33 points in back-to-back games and should do well again in the next game against Indiana, having averaged 27.7 points on over 51 percent shooting versus the Pacers this season.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving finished with 33 points in the win over Charlotte on Wednesday. Although he shot a rough 1-for-7 from deep, he still led both teams in scoring while adding nine assists, five rebounds, and four blocks. This was arguably Irving's best showing since returning from a lengthy suspension. While the 30-year-old isn't the most efficient three-point shooter, he should remain a top fantasy option as long as he stays healthy and out of trouble.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (suspension) has a chance of returning on Sunday versus the visiting Grizzlies, according to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski. The multi-time All-Star won't play on Thursday against Portland, his eighth consecutive absence, for failing to apologize for posting a link to an antisemitic film. Outside of Irving's hideous 28.0% shooting from deep, he's had a fantastic season, averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks. Nonetheless, if he's not in the lineup for the meeting with Memphis, Edmond Sumner should continue to benefit, with the 26-year-old logging 11.6 points and 1.7 steals in seven starts in 2022-23.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been suspended five games by the organization. The team announced on Thursday that Irving won't receive pay for the next five contests. This comes in the aftermath of Irving not apologizing for the sharing of a movie that has anti-Semitic message on his social media account. This certainly hurts the Nets offense as Kevin Durant will be tasked with carrying the load on offense. Patty Mills also stands to gain plenty of fantasy value without Irving on the court.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving did not shoot well in Tuesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Irving went 2-for-12 from the field to score just four points in 33 minutes. Irving blanked from three, but was able to salvage his line with seven assists, six rebounds and a block. This was a complete anomaly from Irving as he has scored at 27 points in six straight games. The Nets do not play until Friday against the Washington Wizards where Irving will be in a prime bounce back spot.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving put together a great all-around game in the team's overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The superstar point guard registered 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and four blocks on 14-for-31 shooting. So far, his rebound, steal, and block numbers have been the best in his career. His assists, on the other hand, have taken a hit. As the team still gets accustomed to Ben Simmons and their other scorers get healthy again, we may see Irving's assists increase. For now, fantasy managers can enjoy the added defense with the always elite scoring output.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving scored 27 points during the loss to the Bucks. Irving had a rough night shooting, going 9-for-21 from the field while failing to make any of his seven tries from deep. However, he did have a season-high nine rebounds, bringing his total to 15 boards in his last two games. Despite the underwhelming three-point shooting, the 30-year-old is one of the best scorers in the NBA, so fantasy managers should continue to benefit as long as he remains healthy.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving put together a second consecutive 30-point performance on Monday, netting 37 points on 14-for-24 shooting in a 134-124 loss to Memphis. This was a real two-man show from the Nets, with Kevin Durant also having 37 points and the rest of the crew combining for only 50 points. Irving went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and finished off his line with eight rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks and three turnovers. The seven-time All-Star has been a busy man early in the season, contributing well across every category. Brooklyn's star duo faces the league's most efficient defense next as the Nets travel to Milwaukee.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving finished with 15 points during the 130-108 loss to New Orleans. He also added five assists, two rebounds, and two steals. Irving struggled shooting the ball on Wednesday night, going 6-for-19 from the field while failing to make any of his six attempts from deep. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned with the All-Star's shooting performance as he could turn things around, possibly as soon as Friday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is expected to remain on the roster. The team allowed the multi-time All-Star to seek out a trade this offseason, with the Lakers seemingly having the most realistic shot at acquiring him. However, Brooklyn repeatedly balked at deals surrounding Russell Westbrook and future first-round picks. Without a doubt, the 30-year-old has an impressive fantasy resume, averaging 23.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals throughout his career. Yet, his off-the-court antics have overshadowed his MVP-level play. Nevertheless, Irving has been working out with his Nets teammates over the summer while engaging in meaningful dialogue with the team, so perhaps there's a chance he will turn over a new leaf.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving remains on the Lakers' radar. Yet, Brooklyn has already rejected numerous trade proposals for the multi-time All-Star over the last several months. However, with LeBron James becoming increasingly adamant Los Angeles gets more aggressive, the Lakers have reportedly recently offered Russell Westbrook, and the club's coveted 2027 and 2029 first-round picks for his former teammate. The Nets balked at the deal, with the franchise looking to remain in the championship conversation instead of entering another rebuild. Nonetheless, although there is still some time before the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Irving's chances of being moved seemingly decrease as each day passes, which likely won't motivate him to remain on the floor.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving opted into his player option for the 2022-23 campaign. However, according to Ric Bucher of FS1, the multi-time All-Star had some interesting demands while attempting to negotiate a new deal with the team, including ensuring he wouldn't be required to play more than 60 games during any given season. He was also reportedly looking for a guarantee he could sit during back-to-back contests. The 30-year-old has been a proven contributor over the years. Yet, he has a reputation for missing time, failing to suit up for an entire season since entering the league in 2011. Although he's not guaranteed to stay in Brooklyn moving forward, fantasy managers in all formats must be cautious before selecting him in drafts heading into October, regardless of where he's playing.
