Nets star Kevin Durant was booed by fans as he appeared in Game 5 of the Europa League quarterfinals, and when cameras captured Durant's reaction, the latter could only smile awkwardly:
Durant's Nets were swept away by the Celtics in the first round of the series, but that doesn't seem to be the reason Durant was booed. Durant was invited by former Nets teammate Mike James to watch the game, and Mike James is currently playing for Olympiacos' rival Monaco basketball team.
On the other hand, Kyrie Irving once again talked about his lack of a 75 star on a show. He said that he has been known as a geek since the 7th grade, and he will sit alone in the cafeteria, but Owen also said that he does not mind not being a star of the 75, because in the past he will also find a community that is really suitable for him:
If Irving can also help the Nets win the championship trophy, he may still be able to occupy a place in the league's future history rankings, and this season the Nets have been swept out in the first round.
Finally, it should be said that Ben Simmons was arguably the player who received the most criticism due to "escaping" game 4 of the Nets against the Celtics, and Simmons responded to those criticisms by forwarding a tweet from his fiancée Maya-Jama:
"Don't put my name in your nasty mouth."
After almost a year of absence, Ben Simmons will also be ready to return to the 2022-23 season.
