Kyrie Irving Reportedly Parts Ways With Longtime Agent To Join ROC Nation

The NBA’s offseason is in full swing, with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving rumors swirling ahead of the June 20 draft. Well with less than one month left before the beginning of free agency, Irving has made a significant change.

The Celtics point guard, who expectedly elected to not opt into his deal with Boston next season, parted ways with his longtime agent, Jeff Wechsler on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Irving is expected to team up with ROC Nation Sports, according to Wojnarowski’s report.

Wechsler also represents Celtics guard Jayson Tatum.

ROC Nation works with the likes of Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay, Caris LaVert and Justice Winslow, among many others. Rich Kleiman, Durant’s agent, will likely look to represent Irving.

It’s also worth noting that ROC Nation was founded by Jay-Z, who is a former partial owner of the Brooklyn Nets. The award-winning musician and entrepreneur sold his stake of the team in 2013.

After not opting into his player option Wednesday, Irving will become an unrestricted free agent on June 30 when free agency begins.
