Recent movement in New York on mask mandates seems to indicate that Kyrie Irving will soon be able to take the court for the Brooklyn Nets. Additionally, Ben Simmons looks like he will make his debut sooner, rather than later. And the timetable for Kevin Durant’s return is shrinking. While the Nets may not be dominating the NBA like many thought, they have a real chance to flip the switch and make themselves a favorite by the time we get to the playoffs despite all the shenanigans early in the season.
Doug Gottlieb: “That is not a win for Kyrie Irving. Destroying the fabric of the team that you play for and ultimately being allowed to play while not being vaccinated, I don’t believe is a win. On the other hand, I do really like this team."
