“Hope Harden Doesn’t Leave Now”, Nets Fans Are Ecstatic After Kyrie Irving’s Full Time Return Could Be on the Cards

The Brooklyn Nets might have some hope amid their disastrous run. There might be a chance of Kyrie Irving returning to the team on a full-time basis. New COVID Mandates suggested by the governor might allow Kyrie to play in New York.

At the start of the season, Kyrie had told that he will not be taking the vaccine. With New York rules prohibiting unvaccinated citizens from entering indoor arenas, it meant Kyrie could only be able to play away games. The Nets made a decision that prohibited Kyrie from joining the team itself unless he gets a vaccine. With Kyrie being from on his stance, it meant that he would miss the entire season.

Fortunately, the Nets decided to let Kyrie play road games, allowing his to make his return last month. He has been sensational, and he showed the Nets what they’ve been missing all season. However, Kevin Durant got injured and tore his MCL, making him unavailable till march. Without KD in the lineup, the Nets have spiraled down and are currently on a 9 game losing streak. They have gone from the 1st seed to the 8th seed in the East, in the span of a month. This news could not have come sooner for the Nets fans as they have a lot of home games coming up and having Kyrie Irving back in the lineup will surely boost their morale.
