Due to the current nets in a number of players triggered health and safety agreements, in the case of tight manpower, the team can only choose to compromise, let Irving return, but just after the official announcement the day before, Irving also followed the footsteps of the large troops, also triggered the safety agreement, plus Durant also hit the same stroke, the Nets Big Three was tragically destroyed, the only two who can call out the name of the team are Griffin and Mills, the two veterans.
Originally the Nets thought of letting Irving return, playing on the road to help Durant, who was a father and a mother before, to share the burden of offense, but did not think of our European Half Immortal, but finally tasted the bitter fruit of triggering the health and safety agreement, he could only play the away game, if you add this quarantine for more than 10 days, you can play less games after that, to know that in the upcoming January 12, Irving's father and sister will usher in their respective birthdays, Irving who would rather miss the team training and competition for no reason last season, They all have to rush to the nightclub to celebrate their father's birthday, so this year the Nets will most likely encounter the dilemma of Irving continuing to pick and choose.
The Nets currently have 27 away games left because he refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and will not be able to play in three of them, two games against the Knicks and one against the Raptors, especially against the Raptors, and Irving may not even have a problem following the team to Toronto, because from January, unvaccinated players will be barred from entering the Canadian border.
Counting the trigger health and safety agreement this time, at least 10 games will be missed, that is to say, it may not be until December 31 in the Nets' game against the 76ers, Irving may return, this intermediate team has 3 away games (Blazers, Lakers, Clippers), including December 26 with the Lakers Christmas battle, given the current situation, not to mention Irving, and even the Nets Big Three will be absent from this focus battle.
It took a long time to wait for the Nets to compromise, and the result was this fork in the road, triggering the health and safety agreement, plus the father and sister will celebrate their birthdays, Nets fans want to see Irving play on the field this season, I'm afraid it will really have to wait until next year, and if the time comes to poke any baskets, who can say? The 29-year-old Irving, the last time he played for the Nets was back to June 14 this year, when in the semifinals against the Bucks, Irving was injured because of the foot of the alphabet brother, and finally only played for 17 minutes to leave the game, and then directly reimbursed for the season, and the Nets were also less than him, plus Harden was also injured, and finally relied on Durant's single core to lead the team, and he could only regret losing in the game of The Seventh Day, and did not qualify for the East Final stage.
And this season the Nets in the absence of Irving, relying on Harden and Durant's bitter support, and even in recent games, it has become Durant's single core team, but they still temporarily top the Eastern Conference with a record of 21 wins and 8 losses, but now including Durant, Harden, Aldridge, Clarkston, Bruce Brown, Millsap, James Johnson, Bembry, Jevon Carter, Kyle Irving as many as 10 people to trigger the safety agreement, the Nets in the next game, will be more than ji, Giving up the top spot to the Bucks, heat, and even the Cavaliers behind it may only be a matter of time sooner or later.
