Trouble swirling around the Nets and its three great stars. Rumors about a possible transfer of James Harden they resurface, Kevin Durant to be out between four and six weeks due to a sprain in the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and Kyrie Irving can only play away games as he has not been vaccinated. And no matter what happens, it will continue like this, he says.

“Kev’ is going to heal, ‘Kev’ is going to be fine and we’re going to have to deal with that as his teammates. But in terms of where I’m at with my life outside of basketball, I stand firm in my decision, assured the base after the defeat of his team in Cleveland by 114-107 in the first game after Durant’s injury. Irving he was the best of his team with 27 points.

Faced with a coronavirus outbreak in the locker room, the Nets already went against their own ideas when Irving was given permission to play after saying they didn’t want him part-time Therefore, by order of the authorities of New York, cannot participate in home games. Now, in another critical situation, paying small fines for each encounter, they could dispose of it also in meetings Brooklyn.

The point guard tries not to mix his vaccination with the game, although it is inevitable: “Don’t bring science to a basketball game. When I say that I am not going to get vaccinated, I am making a decision with my life. Somehow it mixes with: ‘And what about basketball?’ But we live in a real world. It’s great to be able to do this. I love being with my teammates, with the Nets, but I’ve been gone long enough to think about this, to process it, to be able to make this decision and stay strong. I pray that circumstances change.”. Not another thing, but some solid principles I do have Irving. The problem is that they are not the right ones.
