After the immense performance of Kevin Durant in Game 5, the Nets are back in action this Thursday night, with Kyrie Irving and James Harden? We know more thanks to Steve Nash, who spoke in front of the media.
Two days after the enormous feat of Kevin Durant against the Bucks, the Nets will already be back on the court with the opportunity to earn their place for a conference final. The mission will not be easy, especially as Milwaukee will want to make adjustments. Unlike Game 5, we can think that Giannis Antetokounmpo will defend KD, for example.
Also, will the winger be able to allow Brooklyn to win the game? Can he repeat such a performance? Yes, but beware of fatigue. The Nets number 7 had played 48 minutes in Game 5, and no one wants to see him join the infirmary.
This is the case with Kyrie Irving precisely, who will not be present for this meeting according to Steve Nash:
Kyrie Irving remains out for Game 6 between the Nets and Bucks, Steve Nash says. The plan is for Irving to stay back in Brooklyn and get treatment.

Kyrie Irving remains out for Game 6 between the Nets and the Bucks, as Steve Nash explains. The plan for Irving is to stay in Brooklyn for treatment.
Barring a miracle, we have to believe that Kyrie will miss the rest of the series against Milwaukee. Priority to health for the leader, who could miss games in the event of a conference final. For now, it is still too early to say. Only good news here, James Harden is fine after 46 minutes in Game 5.
Steve Nash says James Harden is available to play in Game 6. Adds that both Harden and Durant feel good after playing 46 and 48 minutes respectively on Tuesday night in Game 5.

Steve Nash has indicated that James Harden is available to play Game 6. He added that Harden and Durant felt great after playing 46 and 48 minutes respectively on Tuesday night in Game 5.
Kevin Durant present, just like James Harden, even if reduced for Game 6. Kyrie Irving him, remains in the infirmary and it should last some time yet. The Nets have in any case the weapons to end this series this Thursday evening.
