With the refusal to be vaccinated, Kyrie Irving was originally only able to play 3 of the remaining regular season games for the Nets, but the latest news is that Irving will also be given the opportunity to play home games for the Nets again.
According to the US media Shams Charania, Kyrie Irving was the first to make his home debut in the Nets' next home game against the Hornets:
"Kyrie Irving will qualify for the home debut of Barclays Center in the home game against the Hornets, and New York City's new exemption rules for athletes and performers in the city will take effect this Thursday."
This is certainly very good news for the Nets, who have been in this predicament so far this season, after all, Irving's ability to play in the home game means that the Nets have a better chance of playing well enough in the remaining games, and they will not have to worry about the embarrassing situation that Irving cannot play in the home game in the playoffs.
On the other hand, Nets coach Steve Nash said of new signing Ben Simmons that he would love to see Ben Simmons return to the season in the playoffs, even if it means Simmons can't make a comeback for the rest of the regular season:
Ben Simmons hasn't played any games for the Nets since being sent to the Nets before the trade deadline, but it's still a very good situation for the Nets if Simmons can make a comeback in the playoffs.
Finally, neither Dragic nor Seth Curry will play against the Grizzlies:
Dragic and Seth Curry can be said to be an important part of the Nets' mid-season season, and after joining the Nets, Both Dragic and Curry can play a better performance for the team.
