Kyrie Irving Best Birthday Game: When did 31-Year-Old Have His Best Birthday Outing?

Kyrie Irving looked good in the Nets last preseason game, but may be questionable for tonight’s game against the Miami Heat.

The NBA preseason is in full swing, and the excitement is palpable. Fans, analysts, and executives alike are looking forward to the 2022-2023 season.

One team that everyone has their eyes on is the Brooklyn Nets. A team with an interesting ‘Big 3’, featuring Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, and Kyrie Irving.

Irving in particular has grabbed much of the headlines, given the questions surrounding his future and the sporadic appearances he has made on the court. Fans will be hoping to see him get some touches this preseason, but that is unlikely to happen in the upcoming game against the Miami Heat.

Kyrie Irving is unlikely to feature against the Heat after announcing arival of new baby

The Brooklyn Nets are set to take on the Miami Heat tonight in just their second preseason game. However, star guard Kyrie Irving is unlikely to feature in the game.

The reason being that Kyrie recently announced the addition of a new member to his family. The news came from head coach Steve Nash who also admitted he was unsure whether Irving would play.

Irving welcomes the new baby with lifestyle vlogger and YouTube influencer, Marlene Wilkerson. This is their second child together, having welcomed a baby boy back in 2021.

The seven-time All Star would surely like to take some time off to spend with his family. The Nets may have to make do without him tonight.
