On December 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. According to previous reports, the Nets have agreed with Irving that the latter will be allowed to play in the team's away games. It's just a shame that less than 24 hours after the Nets announced Irving's return, Irving was confirmed to test positive for covid-19.
Earlier today, Irving updated social media for the first time since his diagnosis of COVID-19. He posted three photos in a row. The first photo is still a strong religious style, which is very similar to the photo that Owen posted some time ago. Two photos posted later by Owen were of resistance to racial discrimination, one of which was of Boxer Ali. Ali in the photo is covered with tape, and Ali has spent his life fighting for various social justice events, including racial discrimination.
Judging from the design dynamics released by Irving, his state should be good, because the style of the photos is basically the same as the one Irving released in the previous two months. According to Nets coach Nash and general manager Max, during the period when he was unable to play, Irving has been training and training to maintain his body shape and competitive form. Nets coach Nash said bluntly: "I'm very happy that Irving is back on the team, he's a very outstanding player. ”
For the Nets, though, the current situation is critical. The team currently has 10 people in the health and safety agreement, in addition to Irving, there are James Johnson, Harden, Durant, Ade, Millsap, Irving, Bemburi, Jerwan Carter, Bruce Brown, Sharp. In addition, several players suffered injuries, including Griffin (knee injury), Harris (surgical recovery), and Clarkston (wrist). Their game with the Nuggets today was postponed, and the Nets' Dec. 22 game against the Wizards will also be postponed.
Considering that the entire league is in the shadow of the new crown, the Nets are still in the hardest hit area, and Irving himself has been diagnosed with the new crown, when Irving will make his debut is far away.
