Nets guard Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the franchise ahead of Thursday’s league trade deadline, per multiple reports.
On Saturday, ahead of Brooklyn’s matchup with Washington, Nets coach Jacque Vaughn addressed whether or not he believed that Irving was letting the team down.
“I’m not going to speculate what [his teammates] think,” Vaughn began. “But I think you have a responsibility as a basketball player, like I do as a coach. I show up. I do my job every single day. That’s what I signed up for, and that’s my expectation for one through 17.”
