On March 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. The Nets didn't play today, but the Nets home of barclays Center hosted an NCAA game at Virginia Tech vs Duke University.
In the sidelines, Nets star Irving appeared on the sidelines. He didn't wear a mask and watched the NCAA game with a smile on his face, along with his girlfriend. His girlfriend rested her head on Owen's shoulder, and the two showed off their affection. Owen's alma mater is Duke University, and he is here today to cheer on his alma mater. It is worth mentioning that this is also Irving's first appearance at the Barclays Center this year.
According to the schedule, the Nets will play the Knicks at home tomorrow. But according to New York's epidemic prevention policy, Irving cannot play in tomorrow's game. In recent times, there have been more and more reports about Whether Irving can play in the Nets' home game, and it has been reported that New York is about to lift the epidemic prevention policy, but so far there is still no exact statement, which is why Irving has not been able to play for the Nets in the home game.
If New York's epidemic prevention policy remains unchanged for the time being, it will undoubtedly be bad news for the Nets. It should be noted that the Nets currently have 15 regular season games to play, while Irving can play only 4 games that meet the policy.
Earlier today, Nets star Clarkston said: "This (Irving only has 4 games left) is a challenge, it's been a challenge for us all season, hopefully he'll be allowed to play home games in the coming weeks and we have to come forward when he's out of the game." ”
So far this season, Irving has averaged 36.2 minutes per game, 25.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 47.6% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range!
