The Nets have been in a bit of a slump lately, losing back-to-back defeats to the 76ers and Clippers, losing two straight losses for the first time this season and losing the number one spot in the East. At this time, they have good news that another star, Irving, is about to return, and it is likely that he will return in the next away game.
According to Shams, sources revealed that Irving is expected to make a comeback in the Nets vs Pacers game to make his debut this season.
The Nets will challenge the Pacers on January 6, Beijing time, that is, three days later, which is still quite exciting. This season, because Irving was not vaccinated and did not meet the epidemic prevention regulations in New York, the Nets also directly banned him. Due to the difficulties, the Nets recalled Irving and let him return to play in the away game, also to ease the pressure on Durant and Harden. With Irving's return, the Nets' roster will also become stronger, and it will be very helpful even if they only play on the road.
With the return of Irving, the big three are also expected to join forces again, and the outside world is also looking forward to the recurrence of this moment. Last season they had a good chance to win the championship, but in the Eastern Conference semifinals, first Harden injured hamstring, then Irving 90 degrees of widowing, relying on Durant and bucks to fight 7 games regrettably out, and finally the Bucks won the championship all the way.
Now that the Big Three have joined forces again, their goal is still the championship, and they hope that Durant and Irving can take Harden to compete for the first championship of their careers.
