Despite strong interest from the Lakers, it is very likely that Kyrie Irving will remain with the Nets for the coming season.

It was reported before that the 30-year-old point guard is prepared to play for Brooklyn whether Kevin Durant is on the team or not.

Recently more information came out to support the expectation that Irving will stay with the Nets.

Via SNY:

A source close to Irving said this week that the seven-time All-Star is in a good place with the Nets and comfortable entering the 2022-23 season.

Even if Kyrie does stay in Brooklyn, it is expected that he will eventually join the Lakers.
