According to TA, Irving's debut time is set. It is expected to make his season debut in this Thursday's away game against the Pacers.
Nets reporter Alex Schiffer explained in detail about Irving's comeback.
How many games can Irving play this season?
Irving didn't get vaccinated, so he couldn't play home games, and he couldn't play two Knicks away games and the Raptors away, so counting the postponed games with the Blazers, Irving could play up to 22 games in the regular season.
What is Irving's status?
During the truce, Irving has maintained training, the difference is that there is no professional confrontation intensity, fortunately, the time is not long, last week's first training at the Nets, Nash and other teammates said that Irving's offense is still sharp.
Did Irving start?
Irving has not had a single bench so far in his career. The game against the Pacers is also expected to start. The Warriors are also sure that Thompson will start when he returns, and for the treatment of the core, the Nets should not be bad.
How has the Nets' rotation changed since Irving returned?
The most intuitive manifestation is the reduction of Duha's pressure and the increase in the nets' fault tolerance rate. This is also one of the meanings of the Big Three.
In addition, the starting lineup is expected to become the Big Three + Mills + Ade.
It is worth mentioning that Nash's on-the-spot response will not be said much, but recently he has tried the lineup quite frequently, and the game with the Clippers has allowed James Johnson to play the sixth man, and Clarkston, Griffin and Bembry are also substitutes.
What is Owen's salary?
The home field did not play, and the salary of the away team was paid. Although Owen only received a salary of 17.5 million, when the luxury tax was calculated, his salary was still the full $35 million. It can be seen how high the Nets' decision to let Irving not play was.
What about the playoffs?
Irving doesn't get vaccinated, which means the Nets don't have home field advantage, and there's no solution to that. However, Datu has a bold idea, the Nets control their performance in sixth place, do not have to participate in the playoffs, but also to maximize the "away advantage"
Today, it was torn apart by the grizzly bear, is it not based on this guiding ideology
