Kyrie won't play or practice with Nets as part-time participant - Skip & Shannon I NBA I UNDISPUTED

Brooklyn Nets' general manager Sean Marks released a statement about Kyrie Irving's status with the organization, saying the team has decided the All-Star guard will not play or practice with the team until he can become a full participant. The statement continues to say quote: 'Kyrie has made a personal choice and we respect his individual right to choose. Currently, the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe react to the breaking news and discuss what this means for the Nets and Irving's future in Brooklyn.
