Fans directed many tweets towards James Harden. Ironically, the now-Philadelphia 76ers star was traded a few weeks ago, a decision made considering Irving’s status. As a result, many Nets fans indicated Harden will regret his decision now, especially since Kevin Durant and Irving might just dominate the court.
However, most fans were just happy about Irving playing again. Though some remained skeptical, especially with Irving being away for a sizeable chunk of time, things might look up for the team now. Incidentally, fans also focused on other teams and their fans, pointing out how they will be worried after Irving’s return.
After all, a more complete roster can lead to more wins and a more secure position for the playoffs.
Is Irving really allowed to play at Barclays again?
As per reports, the mayor will reverse his decision and relax mandates about places like Barclays Center. This had been done only a few days ago, with Irving being allowed into the venue only to spectate. While it was not what they wanted, it gave fans hope of his eventual return.
Furthermore, Irving has 27.7 points, 5.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game this season. Additionally, he wowed everyone with his 60-point career high game against Orlando Magic. Consequently, his return could be against the Charlotte Hornets, who will face the Nets on March 27.
