It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Kyrie Irving play basketball, but it’s happening soon. Very, very soon.
The All-Star point guard will make his season debut for the Nets on the road Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Irving has been absent from the team because of his vaccination status.
Local regulations in New York have blocked Irving from playing in games with the Nets all season long, but he could still play on the road where those regulations didn’t apply.
However, the team refused to allow him to be what they were calling a “part-time” player initially, telling that unless he was vaccinated he could not play.
Now, here we are months later, and the Nets have completely changed their tune. Irving is back in the lineup. A weird Brooklyn Nets season just got even weirder.
With Irving back, even partially, the landscape of the NBA completely flips. So what does this mean for the Nets? The rest of the league? Let’s talk about it.
