Kyrie Irving goes off … again
Even though it came in a losing effort, Kyrie Irving’s first performance in a Brooklyn Nets uniform was as memorable as any. The point guard scored 50 points in the 2019-20 season-opening, overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Unfortunately, Irving would only play in 19 more contests before he had to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Somehow, one of those 19 contests was superior to Irving’s first game as a Net. That performance took place when the Chicago Bulls visited Barclays Center on January 31.
