The Brooklyn Nets have a challenging two-game road trip in front of them. They start things off north of the border on Saturday when they visit the reigning champion — and red-hot — Toronto Raptors. Then the Nets will take a trip to Indiana for a matchup on Monday against the Pacers, who now have Victor Oladipo back.
But while the Pacers have their star guard back in Oladipo, the Nets will be without their superstar guard for both games of this brief trip.
Kyrie Irving has been sidelined for Brooklyn’s last three games with a medial ligament sprain in his right knee, which he suffered in the Nets’ loss to the Washington Wizards on the first day of February.
The team announced Irving would be re-evaluated in a week, but they’re still not prepared to bring him on the road. Brooklyn announced Irving will not hit the road with his team, per Malika Andrews of ESPN.
