Kyrie Irving is expected to miss yet another game for the Brooklyn Nets for “personal reasons.”
It came after a scuffle with Lakers guard Dennis Schroder on Saturday that had the Nets star upset over being called the n-word. The scuffle ultimately led to double ejections for both Irving and Schroder.
Irving was set to miss the Nets’ game versus the Timberwolves for “personal reasons,” but that game has since been postponed due to a policeinvolved shooting in the Minnesota area.
Stephen A. Smith called Irving out on Monday for missing yet another game this season.
He also suggested that he give money back on First Take.
