Kyrie Irving has been unavailable for the Brooklyn Nets over the last three games, and will also miss Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, due to personal reasons. While the Nets have no answer for when he will return, it appears they can plan to be without him for at least the rest of the week.
A video surfaced on Monday showing Irving attending what is being reported as a family birthday party. Brooklyn’s point guard was not wearing a mask in the video. The NBA “is expected to begin examining online videos circulating of a maskless Kyrie Irving at a family birthday party,” according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews.
Videos have surfaced of Kyrie Irving at a large birthday gathering alongside his sister, Asia.
Kyrie’s sister & dad have birthdays this week.
Given the size of the gathering & now public nature of it, Kyrie might now have to undergo a quarantine period before returning. https://t.co/McrYtFH9XK pic.twitter.com/U4T1KAvMTl

As a result of the impending investigation, the Nets point guard is now expected to miss the rest of this week’s games — Wednesday against the New York Knicks and Saturday against the Orlando Magic — according to ESPN’s report.
