The Nets have suffered a three-game losing streak over the past period of time, and they are no longer at the top of the Eastern Conference. Due to the impact of the new coronavirus pandemic, many players in the Nets have entered the quarantine stage due to triggering health and safety protocols, which has also increased the time and fatigue of the Nets' stars Durant and Harden.
The good news is that another All-Star, Kyrie Irving, will also make a comeback. The Nets have released an injury report for the team's next game against the Pacers, which Kyrie Irving did not appear in:
This is undoubtedly a sign that Irving has a chance to make his season debut in the Nets against the Pacers, and it will be worth watching how Irving can play after his comeback.
In addition to Kyrie Irving's departure from injury ranks, the Nets' injury report also has other notable circumstances. In this report, Nets veteran Ramacus Aldridge was included in the list of doubts because of a sore right foot injury:
Aldridge has missed a game against the Grizzlies at the Nets due to injury problems, and given Aldridge's excellent form so far this season, he is undoubtedly a very important part of this Nets' lineup.
However, former NBA center Kendrick Perkins said in a show that Irving's comeback will not actually have a particularly large impact on the Nets, at least in terms of impact on the team is far less than the comeback of Warriors backcourt Klay Thompson:
The Nets are a team with a Big Three lineup, and while Durant and Harden are indeed good enough to lead the Nets to a good enough regular-season record, if the Nets are going to storm the championship trophy, Irving is definitely still a very critical player.
