This season, the Nets are still the best team in the East, of course, the key to the team's performance at this level is the excellent performance of the leading scorer Kevin Durant.
Recently, James Harden, the core backcourt of the Nets, said in an interview that Durant is the undisputed choice of being elected as the MVP of the regular season this season:
So far this season, Durant has averaged 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, in addition to a whopping 52.3% shooting. As Harden talked about, Durant's current performance is "definitely" the first choice for being elected as a regular season MVP.
On the other hand, now that Kyrie Owen has lifted the quarantine and given a media interview for the first time since refusing to be vaccinated, Owen says he knows the consequences of refusing to be vaccinated and what it means for his season:
At the same time, Irving also said that he understands and respects the decisions of the league and the Nets: "I understand and respect their decisions. ”
Even if Irving couldn't play for the Nets in the early part of the season, the Nets still had a good enough record, of course, the Nets still need Irving to play and help the team to the championship trophy.
Finally, Nets coach Steve Nash revealed in an interview that Durant and Aldridge will return to the game in the next game against the 76ers:
The comebacks of Durant and Aldridge are undoubtedly a great improvement for the Nets, especially Durant, and the return of such a homemaker will also be the key to the Nets' better performance.
