據《紐約每日新聞報》記者Stefan Bondy之前的報導,消息人士透露,在與籃網球員的一次隊內群組聊天中,Kyrie Irving勸說隊友不參加NBA在奧蘭多的復賽。
消息人士透露,在那次群組聊天中,Irving還提出球員們可以組建自己的聯盟。
隨後根據Bleacher Report記者Taylor Rooks的報導,多位消息人士透露,Irving從沒有說過球員該組建自己的聯盟。
在早上Bondy的報導出來後,籃網球員Theo Pinson、Chris Chiozza和Caris LeVert都在社交媒體上否認了報導。

並且Rooks被告知,在那篇報導出來後,Irving就退出群組了。
Sources tell me that Kyrie Irving never stated that the Nets should begin their own league in response to the bubble.

I'm told that after that report came out, he left the group chat.
