Irving opts into 2022-23 with Nets
Brooklyn point guard set to receive $36.5 million next year
Nets guard Kyrie Irving is staying right here in Brooklyn.

Despite reaching a reported “impasse” in long-term contract negotiations, the mercurial playmaker has opted in to his $36.5 million option year for the 2022-23 campaign, leaving the Nets to ponder how they will either unload him via a trade or try yet again to win an NBA title with their dynamic duo.
