What’s the buzz on Twitter?
StatMuse @statmuseThe Lakers are 1-15 vs .500 teams not named the Jazz since December 15.

Final” Heat beat the Nets 113-107. Brooklyn blew a 16-point lead. Kevin Durant with 31 in his return, Bruce Brown with a season-high 21. Nets now head to Boston and get Kyrie Irving back for a three-game road trip. – 10:03 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
I know Kyrie Irving’s somewhere with his fist balled like Arthur right now. – 9:42 PM Ian Begley @IanBegley
Nets GM Sean Marks says in interview w/YES Network that club is waiting to see how NYC’s COVID mandates ‘change’ & ‘tweak’ re: Kyrie Irving’s status. Marks says in next 24-48 hours ‘hopefully’ there’s ‘some news for us as to what that may look like & Kyrie can get back out here.’ – 7:40 PM Emiliano Carchia @Sportando

Not mentioning that Kyrie hired his step-mother as his agent is a truly bizarre approach to breaking news. – 2:11 PM Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has hired Shetellia Riley Irving as his new agent. Shetellia Riley Irving is believed to currently be the only Black woman representing an active NBA player. – 12:40 PM Brian Robb @BrianTRobb

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have played a total of 82 minutes together this season.
Durant returns on Thursday at home.
Irving, of course, will not play. – 4:13 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
The Nets miss KD and Kyrie every night — but the pair’s absence was particularly apparent in the fourth quarter tonight. Curry hit a couple big shots, but Brooklyn didn’t have a closer to go to down the stretch to get things back on track. – 9:57 PM Eric Koreen @ekoreen
If the Raps play the Nets without KD, Simmons and Kyrie in the Play-In, I think they’ll win. – 7:54 PM Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Andre Drummond (left knee soreness) and Cam Thomas (left hand sprain) are both questionable for the #Nets tonight. Kevin Durant (left knee – MCL sprain), Joe Harris (left ankle surgery), Ben Simmons (return to competition reconditioning) and Kyrie Irving are out at the #Raptors. – 3:46 PM Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN

NYC may change their mandates soon, which means Kyrie Irving playing in Brooklyn might be right around the corner. Another interesting decision looms soon for him & BKN: Irving’s next contract.
For @spotrac I looked at Irving’s options for his next deal:

#DidYouKnowFlow: The #Sixers‘ trio of James Harden, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have better numbers through two games than the #BrooklynNets‘ Big Three of Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant last season. – 7:12 AM Emiliano Carchia @Sportando
New York mayor says making an exception for Kyrie Irving would send wrong message sportando.basketball/en/new-york-ma… – 5:22 AM Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Big losers of this season: Nets season ticket holders. The stars rarely play (Kyrie Irving never, Ben Simmons who knows) and the team just fell to 13-17 at home. – 9:50 PM
