Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant hasn't spoken with the team's front office since being swept in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs, according to the New York Daily News' Kristian Winfield.

This comes against the backdrop of Kyrie Irving potentially hitting free agency. Irving can opt out of his four-year, $136.5 million contract this summer.

The Nets' last game was on April 25. After such a disappointing outcome—Brooklyn was swept by the Boston Celtics—it's natural for all of the key parties to take time off to decompress.

A star player going a month without speaking with team officials doesn't seem like a tremendous cause for concern on its face.

In the case of the Nets, however, Irving presents a major conundrum, and general manager Sean Marks will want some input from Durant before making a final decision.
