TNT analyst and former NBA star Charles Barkley said that he's tired of talking about Kyrie Irving during last night's show.

In a conversation with his fellow host Kenny Smith, Barkley, at a point, said: 'I'm done talking about him, I just hope they lose, period".

The TNT analyst has often criticized Irving's decision to not get vaccinated and he thinks that the player has disrespected his team.

Barkley has also criticized the Nets' decision to bring Irving back after their original stand of not letting him play until he would have changed his mind on the vaccination.

The Nets lost against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night and they'll be forced to play without their star Kevin Durant for at least one month due to a knee injury.
