On March 21, Beijing time, as the NBA regular season schedule drew to a close, the Nets ushered in an exciting piece of good news, and then I will take you to understand the specific situation. Good news! Exposure Irving is expected to return to full-time, famous: The Nets are optimistic that Irving will lift the ban before the playoffs!
According to the latest news from NBA star Shams Charania, the Nets are optimistic about Irving's return to full-time before the playoffs, optimistic that Irving will lift the ban before the playoffs, the reason is that New York's epidemic prevention policy has begun to loosen, which also allows the Nets to see Irving's hope of resuming full-time.
Shams noted in the message that the Nets are currently waiting for one thing, which is to see what's new in New York City Mayor Eric Adams, such as whether restrictions are still needed for employees in the private sector. One thing is certain that a vaccination mission in New York called "Key2NYC" has been suspended, which is indeed a positive signal for Irving.
Although the NBA regular season is nearing the end, each NBA team still has about 11 games to play, and the NBA playoffs do not start until mid-April. Now that the Nets' New York has gradually loosened restrictions, Irving is indeed expected to return to full-time, the Nets will be guaranteed in the playoffs, and when the Nets play at home, the offensive strength will be greatly improved.
In fact, Nets fans also gave Irving extremely high support, after a large number of fans gathered at the Barclays Center (the Home Stadium of the Nets), holding up posters and slogans for Irving to fight unevenly, the slogans read "Brooklyn love Irving", "with Irving", "Wake up New York". It can be seen that fans are very hopeful that Irving can return to full-time and make more contributions to the Nets!
Irving's level of competition is obvious to all, since the beginning of the season, Irving has averaged 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals per game, shooting 49%, and 27.7 points per game has also set a career high. It's just that Irving has missed too many games this season and can't play at home after his comeback, which has led to Irving playing only 19 games this season.
Judging from the fiery state Irving showed, if Irving can return to full-time before the playoffs, then in the competitive playoffs, Irving will definitely be able to provide sufficient protection for the Nets offensive end, which is indeed worth the expectations of fans!
