The muddied situation surrounding Kyrie Irving’s vaccination status got even murkier Wednesday with word that the Nets aren’t sure of Irving’s plans or how they will keep him in shape — considering he’s banned from team facilities, And Kevin Durant suggested that he may be “naive” in thinking his good friend will be part of the team ... although he called him irreplaceable.
Of the lot, Durant’s comments were the most interesting. The two players — both teammates and friends — have been in lock-step with the team since arriving more than two years ago. Was there a divide between them on this issue?
