Kyrie Irving looked good in the Nets’ last preseason game, but he may be questionable for tonight’s game against the Miami Heat.
The NBA preseason is in full swing and the excitement is palpable. Fans, analysts and executives are looking forward to the 2022-2023 season.
One team that everyone has in their sights is the Brooklyn Nets. A team with an interesting ‘Big 3’, with Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving.
Irving in particular has grabbed much of the headlines, given the questions about his future and the sporadic appearances he’s made on the court. Fans are hoping to see him get some touches this preseason, but that’s unlikely to happen in the next game against the Miami Heat.

Kyrie Irving unlikely to show up against Heat after announcing new baby
The Brooklyn Nets are set to take on the Miami Heat tonight in just their second preseason game. However, star guard Kyrie Irving is unlikely to appear in the game.
The reason is that Kyrie recently announced the addition of a new member to his family. The news came from head coach Steve Nash, who also admitted that he wasn’t sure if Irving would play.
Congratulations to Kyrie Irving and his wife!

Irving welcomes the new baby with lifestyle vlogger and YouTube influencer Marlene Wilkerson. This is their second child together, having welcomed a baby boy in 2021.
The seven-time All Star would surely like to take some time off to spend with his family. The Nets may have to do without him tonight.
Kyrie Irving showed off his skills against the 76ers in the Nets’ preseason opener
Kyrie may not be available for the Nets against the Heat, but he did appear in the team’s preseason opener against the 76ers. With nine points, four assists, four rebounds, three steals and a block to his name, he gave fans a glimpse of things to come this season.
It’s safe to say that Nets fans around the world will be hoping to see more of Kyrie once the season begins. Hopefully I can take them to the final.
