Kyrie Irving questionable against Sixers

The Brooklyn Nets may have to take on one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference without their superstar guard.

Kyrie Irving has been added to the Brooklyn Nets’ injury report ahead of their afternoon game (3 p.m.) against the Philadelphia 76ers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The superstar point guard is questionable with right hamstring tightness.

Irving has been back with the Nets for four games after he was sidelined for 26 consecutive games due to a right shoulder impingement. In his time back on the floor for Brooklyn, Irving is averaging 21 points per game on 51.5% shooting (50% from 3-point territory). He’s also averaging six assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals a night during this four-game stretch.

The team has gone 1-3 since Irving returned, losing the last three to the Milwaukee Bucks, Sixers and Utah Jazz, after knocking of the Atlanta Hawks in his first game back.
