On January 16, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets will face the New Orleans Pelicans at home. Before the game, Nets coach Nash talked about Irving's situation in an interview.
Nash said: "Irving can't play at home, we don't have much communication, but Irving is always preparing for the game. For Irving, improving the body's adaptability to the game is the most important. ”
"He's always been in training, but I haven't spoken to him yet because I'm always talking to players who can play. Irving is important to us and our ability to impact the championship has weakened since he was injured last year."
In today's game, Harden and Durant will play, but the Nets lineup will not be able to play, including Clarkston (left hamstring), James Johnson (non-COVID-19), Aldridge (right foot soreness), Irving (limited home appearances) and Joe Harris (left ankle surgery recovery) will miss the game.
Now, with Irving returning to the Nets' away game, many people are looking forward to his return, and many fans hope that Irving can be vaccinated so that he can participate in the home game.
