Nets' Kyrie Irving (shoulder) still not taking contact
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (right shoulder) has yet to be cleared for contact.
Irving hasn't played in nearly a month. Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson said earlier this week that Irving is going to "ramp things up" over the next couple of weeks, so we're still several games away from a return. Spencer Dinwiddie should continue to thrive in the meantime.
Kyrie was averaging 48.3 FanDuel points in 11 games before the injury, with 28.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.8 3-pointers on a 44.4 field goal percentage.
