Irving requests trade, according to reports

-

Unable to get a new contract, Kyrie Irving is looking for a new address.

The All-Star guard has asked the Nets for a trade.

The request comes less than a week before the trade deadline and possibly signals an ending to his tenure with the franchise, either then or after this season ends.

Irving made the request after talks about a new contract did not go to his liking. It was first reported by ESPN and The Athletic.

Irving is eligible for a contract extension, but the Nets refused to give him one last summer.

Irving’s agent and stepmother, Shetellia Irving, told Bleacher Report last week that she reached out to the Nets regarding a new deal.

Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks was suspended one game without pay by the NBA and Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell fined $20,000 for their roles in an on-court incident on Thursday. Brooks struck Mitchell in the groin area after the Grizzlies guard had fallen to the floor.

Mitchell retaliated by throwing the ball at Brooks and then shoving him.
