Kyrie Irving is heading into his final year of his contract with the Nets, after negotiations with the team broke down, and he was not traded during the offseason. Rather than land a long-term deal, Irving will play the upcoming season on a player option worth more than $36.5 million.
While there has been speculation that the guard could sign an extension with Brooklyn, Irving addressed his current contract situation during Monday’s media day.
Apparently, the 30-year-old lost out on what he believes would have been a monster deal because of his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
