Kyrie Irving has declared he is ready to perform for the Brooklyn Nets and let his future 'play out' amid reports he could leave for the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency next summer.
On Friday night, the Brooklyn Nets completed their preseason preparations with a 112-102 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves and Irving starred. The point guard put up 26 points to go with four assists and a single rebound to help the Nets to their second win of the four-game preseason.
The 30-year-old was linked with a move to the Lakers, with LeBron James reportedly pulling for the franchise to trade for the seven-time All-Star. According to The Athletic, the Lakers reportedly wanted to offload Russell Westbrook, offering the former MVP and draft compensation for the services of Irving.
