Stephen A. Smith Suggest Kyrie Irving Should Give Money Back To Nets For All Of His ‘Personal Days’

Following his ejection against the Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving would have been out for personal reasons, for the game against the Timberwolves last night, that was postponed.

Irving has taken time off for personal reasons multiple times this season, with the last episode costing him three games. 

Since this has been going on for years now, Stephen A. Smith suggested that Kyrie Irving should give the Nets their money back for all of his personal days.

You didn’t want people to play in the bubble because you wanted folks to focus on other issues, and it turns out you’ve got your own issues, whatever they may be. … We all hope that everything and everybody is OK, but I don’t recall Kyrie at any point saying, ‘Here’s your money back. You don’t have to pay me,’ 

You’re missing games at your discretion. How many personal days do you need? You don’t play every day. You’ve got 72 games this year instead of 82. You only played 20 of the 72 games last year. What the h-ll is going on where you’re just missing games?”

For the record, I just became aware of Kyrie’s situation — which is his position. Today’s miss is one thing, but the other two times he was quoted as saying he “needed a break!” He played just 20 games last season and had 9 months off. Damn! Don’t we want to see the brotha play?
