However, with Irving also denying the validity of the quote, fans sent in reactions to Bucher's "sources". Ric Bucher has come under fire of late for making some absurd claims. He faced criticism as recently as a few days ago after reporting that Ben Simmons left the Brooklyn Nets' group chat when they asked him to play in Game 4 of last season's playoffs. The Athletic's Shams Charania denied the validity of these claims, while Bucher faced significant backlash for reporting "fake news".

He said: "[Nets governor] Joe Tsai has already shown he’s willing to play hardball with Kyrie by taking a max extension off the table almost immediately. “Now, part of that may be Kyrie’s doing. I’m told he wanted his new contract to guarantee he wouldn’t have to play more than 60 games in a season and would not have to play any back-to-backs, which he apparently referred to as inhumane.” NBACentral@TheNBACentralRic Bucher: "I'm told [Kyrie Irving] wanted his new contract to guarantee he wouldn't have to play more than 60 games in a season and would not have to play any back-to-backs." ahnfiredigital.com/nba/brooklyn-n…6031577Ric Bucher: "I'm told [Kyrie Irving] wanted his new contract to guarantee he wouldn't have to play more than 60 games in a season and would not have to play any back-to-backs." ahnfiredigital.com/nba/brooklyn-n… Although the story garnered a lot of attention from fans, the situation took a wild turn as Irving responded to the tweet himself.
