Nets' Kyrie Irving (health protocols) out for Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving will not play Saturday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Irving has missed the last 5 games due to a personal reason. And while he's reportedly expressed a desire to return to the court, he won't be able to play just yet - he will be forced to sit for now as part of the NBA's health and safety protocols. Whenever he returns, he'll likely unseat Bruce Brown at point guard to run an offense with Kevin Durant and now James Harden.
In 7 games this season, Irving has averaged 27.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 46.1 FanDuel points.
