The Nets have been doing just fine without Kyrie Irving.
Brooklyn has gone 4-1 since the star guard was suspended for repeatedly failing to apologize for a social media post that included a link to a film featuring antisemitic messaging. The Nets have seen defensive improvements during that stretch, limiting their opponents to 91.2 points per game.
After defeating the Clippers on Saturday, the Nets will stay in Los Angeles for a matchup with the Lakers on Sunday. What is Irving's status for that game? And how is Brooklyn approaching his future with the team?
Here is everything you need to know about Lakers vs. Nets, including TV and streaming options for the game.
Is Kyrie Irving playing vs. Lakers tonight?
Nets coach Jacque Vaughn told reporters on Saturday that Irving will not be available to play against the Lakers. He did not offer any additional information on a potential return date.
When asked if Irving would rejoin the rotation during Brooklyn's current road trip, Nets owner Joe Tsai told the New York Post's Brian Lewis that Irving "still has work to do."
"He has to show people that he's sorry," Tsai said. "What's important — and what people miss — is he only apologized after he was suspended."
Through eight games this season, Irving is averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting 45.3 percent from the field.
