As the futures of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving with the Brooklyn Nets remain in flux, one Eastern Conference contender is reportedly more interested in the former.
According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the Miami Heat have "far more interest in acquiring Durant than Irving."
Chiang noted Irving's lack of availability in recent years. He appeared in 20 games in 2019-20 due in part to a shoulder injury, 54 games in 2020-21 in part because of personal reasons and 29 games last season because he remained unvaccinated against COVID-19.
