Career highest total scored by Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving’s availability on the court so far this season has been a major concern for the Brooklyn Nets who have not fared well so far in the season.

The star point guard is not allowed to play home games for the Brooklyn Nets due to the vaccine mandates imposed by the New York City mayor.

All this drama, however, didn’t impact the skillset that the 29-year old possesses and every time he has stepped up on the court, he has shown why he is one of the best players in the league.

In his most recent match against the Orlando Magic, Kyrie registered his career-high total in terms of points as he scored 60 points in just 34 minutes.

Kyrie Irving tonight:

60 PTS (franchise record)
20-31 FG
8-12 3P

He checked out of the game with 8 minutes left. Probably could’ve gone for 80. pic.twitter.com/FhIiq968QW

The Brooklyn Nets won by the score of 150-108 against a Magic team who is developing its young players but defeats like this should not become a normal occurrence for them.

Irving shot 20/31 from the field and notched up 8 three-pointers as well. Last week itself Kyrie had scored 50 points in a game and now 60 again in this match is just proving to everyone how great of a player he is.

The Brooklyn Nets are getting better and better as the days pass by and when they are fully healthy they are the favorites to win the Championship this year.

Kyrie Irving over his last 3 games:

44.0 PPG
4.3 RPG
5.0 APG

64.2 FG%
62.9 3PT%
88.9 FT%

But yea… Not a top 75 player all time. pic.twitter.com/zs0jZSdrVf

The scoring madness continues in the NBA.

The players around the league are on a mad run. Everyone is just scoring loads and loads of points every other night.

Last night Karl Anthony Towns had scored 60 points. Now Irving matched up to his total while not playing the majority of the 4th quarter.

Players like Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry have also recently scored a huge chunk of points.

The league is currently in a good place. All these great performances by these good players have increased the interest among the fans of the game. As the playoffs are approaching we can see numerous more displays of such quality scoring.

Kyrie had 60 in 35 minutes??? This is one of the craziest league scoring stretches that comes to mind in recent history.
