Irving however returned to the court and made his first appearance of the season against the Indiana Pacers and drilled 22 points, three rebounds and four assists on his return.
Kyrie’s role was reversed on his return as he was given a limited time on the court up until now and he would probably get more game time as he moves along.
The Problem is that Irving hasn’t given the reason on why he doesn’t want to get vaccinated which gives protection and immunity.
Irving Via NBCS Sports said, “I stay rooted in my decision. That’s just what it is. It’s not going to be swayed by one thing in this NBA life that is somehow brought to my attention as being more important than what’s going on in the real world. It’s just not happening for me.”
The nets are thankful as eleven of their next sixteen games are on the road as Irving availability is possible for most of the games that the nets play on their road trip.
The trio of James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have played together only two games this season and coach Nash would love to see much of these trio playing together in the games ahead.
