On December 13, Beijing time, according to the famous shams report, basketball star Irving is expected to return to the team. For the Nets, this will undoubtedly be an important good news for the championship.
So far this season, Irving has not been able to comply with New York's health and safety regulations because he has not been vaccinated, and has not played for the Nets.
The Nets have also made previous decisions, respecting Irving's personal choices, but also not wanting anyone on the team to play as part-time. If Irving is not vaccinated, he will not participate in the team's training or competition.
However, the Nets did not block Irving's return. Previously, whether it was Nets owner Cai Chongxin or general manager Max, the Nets welcomed him at any time.
Because he did not play, the Nets paid Irving's salary for away games, but his home game salary was still withheld. If Irving doesn't play this season, he is expected to lose $17 million in salary.
The good news is that sources reveal that optimism about Irving's return to the Nets this season has rekindled. Since New York's health and safety regulations haven't changed, it means that Owen's attitude toward vaccinations may have changed.
Sources have also revealed that Irving can return to the court this season, the Nets and the Nets are hoping that he will return as soon as possible, and in recent weeks, Irving and Durant have also exchanged more about the team.
In any case, the Nets are looking forward to Irving's return, which will be an important positive for the championship. Once Irving returns, the Nets will also form the strongest lineup, last season, the Big Three combination has made people see their strength, only injuries are their enemies, then, Irving will eventually return to the Nets? See.
