Kyrie Irving

The Brooklyn Nets have added superstar guard Kyrie Irving to their injury report ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the San Antonio Spurs.

For the Spurs, the team will also only be missing one key rotation player - Devin Vassell (left knee procedure). There is no further update on whether the point forward will be on a minutes restriction on Tuesday night. The Nets will only be missing one rotation player, but unfortunately, it's their biggest weapon on both ends of the floor in Kevin Durant (Isolated MCL sprain).

Will the Nets stick with Irving and Simmons after the season? And what about Cam Thomas? Will the Nets turn to him with Kevin Durant out?
