Kyrie Irving will appear this Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers

Kyrie Irving’s return to the NBA already has a date. Prisoner of Shams Al Shaaraniya (Al Riyadi)And The Brooklyn Nets are set to make their season debut at dawn Wednesday through Thursday (1:30 a.m.) in Indiana State against the Pacers.. Irving missed the first 35 games of the tournament due to his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, a decision that only allowed him to play games away from Barclays Center due to health policies in New York. He is also not authorized to play in San Francisco against the Golden State Warriors.

Not because of the results (they are second in the East with a score of 23-11), but because of the image of a team that relied on dangerous levels on Kevin Durant in the face of a poor performance by James Harden. The striker averages 37.1 minutes per night, his highest since the 2013-14 season when he was on the field 38.5 minutes at the age of 25.. He is now 33 years old and has an Achilles tendon injury in his back. “We’re trying to be practical. I’ve always said I don’t want this to be a political issue. My only religion is to win matches and win the championshipTsai defends herself against changing the position regarding Irving.

Once his return to the field was announced, the base had to adhere to health protocols, which required him to test negative two days in a row to join the Nets as a part-time player. When the process started in mid-December, One of his tests came back positive I had to postpone the comeback and it’s a done deal.
