Duke’s Kyrie Irving is widely regarded at the eventual #1 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft. Perhaps that’s why he has chosen not to work out at the combine.
Duke star point guard Kyrie Irving said Thursday he is having medical tests at the NBA combine but is skipping the on-court tests and drills.
“I’m just going doing medical here,” said Irving, the presumed No. 1 pick. “There’s no particular reason. I’m still working out around here (privately) but I’m not doing anything at the combine.”
Irving has been working out for two hours every day, agent Jeffrey Wechsler said. Irving likely will be selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who won the draft lottery on Tuesday and will pick first.
