Kyrie Irving Responds To Report Claiming He Told The Nets He Wants To Play Less Than 60 Games A Season

Kyrie Irving is calling B.S. on the latest story about him.

On Thursday, Fox Sports’ Ric Bucher reported that the Nets were fed up with Irving’s bizarre contract demands. According to Bucher, Irving told the Nets that he wanted to play less than 60 games a season and wanted the provision in his contract.

“[Nets governor] Joe Tsai has already shown he’s willing to play hardball with Kyrie by taking a max extension off the table almost immediately,” Bucher said. “Now, part of that may be Kyrie’s doing. I’m told he wanted his new contract to guarantee he wouldn’t have to play more than 60 games in a season and would not have to play any back-to-backs, which he apparently referred to as inhumane.”

Kyrie immediately fired back on Twitter by implying that Bucher was lying.
