Since joining the Nets, he has played 54 games.

Irving had surgery on his injured shoulder and was out for the rest of the season. He played in 54 games during the shortened 2020-21 season.

In 22 contests, Irving appeared. He missed a lot of Brooklyn's home games due to his unvaccinated status and New York City's requirement for indoor arenas, which wasn't lifted until the end of the regular season.

The future of Irving with the Nets has been up in the air since he picked up his player option.

The 30-year-old is being mentioned in trade rumors, primarily to the Los Angeles Lakers, so he can rejoin his friend and former teammate in the purple and gold.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported in July that the Lakers and Nets were in preliminary discussions about a trade involving Irving and Russell.

The two sides likely won't resume discussions until Brooklyn moves Kevin Durant, who requested a trade at the end of June, according to a report by The Athletic.

Even though he's being included in trade rumors, Irving is in a good place with the Nets.

Irving could be playing somewhere else by the year 24.
