This season, the Nets have gone through too many ordeals, with Joe Harris injured, Harden in poor form and Irving refusing to get vaccinated. Despite all these difficulties, the Nets, led by Durant, rushed to the number one position in the East. The management was distressed by Durant and eventually decided to let Irving return to the team and play away games with the team.
Just when fans thought the Nets' problems were solved and the team was about to get on track, they suffered one after another. Durant and Irving triggered the league's health and safety agreements, becoming the Nets' 8th and 9th players to be quarantined after Aldridge, Harden, Millsap, Bembry, Bruce Brown, James Johnson and Jervan Carter.
According to the league's regulations, players who trigger safety and health agreements are generally quarantined for 10 days. According to this point in time, the two will have a hard time catching up with the Christmas battle with the Lakers. According to the Nets' current lineup, it is likely that the opponent will be bloodied by the opponent when the away team will meet the Lakers.
This season, Durant's form has been outstanding. He averaged 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 27 games. On the scoring list, Durant leads second-place Alphabet Brother by 2.7 points, leading the scoring list alone. In the MVP competition, Durant just surpassed Curry in the first place.
Although Irving has not played this season, the Nets have agreed to let him return to the team for away games. According to the original plan, Irving only needed to test negative for 5 consecutive days to return to the game. He could have made his comeback debut in the Christmas wars, but now it's all been marked with big question marks. You know, Owen wasn't vaccinated. Compared to Durant, his health is more worrying!
