Kyrie Irving demands trade before deadline as Brooklyn Nets left scrambling

NBA superstar Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.

Alongside teammate Kevin Durant, Irving was named an NBA All-Star starter for the game in Salt Lake City later this month due to his impressie performances throughout the 2022/23 season. The 30-year-old is averaging 27.1 points per game to go with 5.3 assists during a fairly efficient season to help the 31-20 Nets sit fourth in the Eastern Conference.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Irving has officially requested a trade from the Nets. The franchise has been informed that Irving prefers to move on ahead of the trade deadline next Thursday or will walk away in free agency in July.
