With 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against the Lakers in the Christmas game, James Harden kept the Brooklyn Nets on their feet even without Kevin Durant. But it is another comeback that is making headlines for New Yorkers, namely that of Kyrie Irving. The superstar cannot play home games – as he is not vaccinated – and had been sidelined by the franchise waiting to figure out what to do with the player. The recent numerous absences from the ranks in Brooklyn, however, convinced the front office to readmit Irving to the roster, also in order not to overwork Kevin Durant.
Currently in the Covid protocols, Irving is expected to return to the field from the whole team, especially James Harden:
“Of course, we all know how special Kyrie’s talent is and what it means for our organization and team. So having him with us, even if it’s only for away games, will be something huge for us. Obviously it facilitates everyone’s work in the field. Having him with us – knowing that he is a very technical player – with his personality, will be very important for the Nets. “
Meanwhile, the Nets know they can count on Patty Mills. With 14.3 points per game, the Australian is by far recording his best career achievement average. With the best Eastern Conference record so far, with 22 wins and 9 losses, there is no rush on Kyrie Irving’s part, also knowing that the Nets will not take any chances with him and that the Brooklyn schedule is made up of 7 home games. in the next 9.
