NBA injury curse? Irving missed more than 10 games in per season
A top guard suffering from injuries
Kyrie Irving is one of the top point guards in the league, but he has outstanding skills. His biggest enemy may be injury. Since entering the NBA, he has missed every season due to injuries and has never missed less than 10 games in a season.
Irving has missed many games due to injury in these two seasons in Nets, but injuries are not new. Statistics show that if he adds his 26 games in college, he has missed 261 games so far, accounting 27% for all 950 games.
Although he missed many games every season due to injuries, the US media reported that the Nets director Sean Marks has a high degree of willingness to renew his contract, and Irving has the opportunity to sign a four-year, $181 million contract.
