After breaking a three-game losing streak with a 121: 129 win over Indiana in Kyrie Irving’s season debut in the NBA, Brooklyn, without the star unable to play in the home games due to his refusal to get vaccinated against the Corona virus, returned tonight (Friday to Saturday) to Sura with a 121: loss 109 Home to Milwaukee.
Steve Nash’s side failed to face Yannis Antokompo and reigning champions Mike Bodenholzer, while even Kevin Durant’s great ability with 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists was not enough for the Nets, who suffered their fourth loss in the last five games, with Brooklyn having to do without Irving. Also in the next game against San Antonio.
Durant Commenting after the game on Kyrie’s lack of home games: “I told him how important he is to us and how much I want him to play in every game, but I’m not going to force anyone to get vaccinated, that’s not my way. Just so he can play basketball? No, I’m not going to demand it from him. We’ve already talked about how much I want him to be part of the team and be with us in every game, but he makes his decisions. “He will make whatever decision he wants to make, we have to be professionals and do our job, no matter what happens, from the owner to the storekeeper, we all have to keep doing our part so that when he is ready, everything will be ready.”
“I did not ask him for explanations, it is not my job to do it, it is my opinion at least. I have to stay myself in everything that happens in this situation, I have to stay myself, to represent what I believe in. I support everything the team needs from me and want me to do. This is a weird situation, but who knows, I do not understand most of this shit of the corona, this whole story is crazy and has been going on for two years. So I try to stay focused and focused on myself, Kyrie will make his own decisions when he is ready, I believe in that ”.
James Harden He said: “It was not strange to get him back in the game against Indiana, it felt good to be honest. It felt like we got another life, but we have to deal with the fact that he can not play home games and find ways to win without him. Even in away games by the way, the fact that Kyrie is with us does not mean we are going to win easily. We have to move on and find ways to win games, every time we get on the field, teams come with the goal of proving something. “
