Prior to Saturday’s game against the Magic — and in wake of Kyrie Irving's return on a part-time basis and a long list of players added to the league’s health and safety protocols, Sean Marks spoke to the media to address the decision ... and the current state of the team.
The Nets General Manager said a change in the NBA “environment change” along with the players’ heavy workloads sparked the decision on Irving.
“The overall environment has changed, as we all know. Drastically it has changed; not only for the Nets. It’s changed from our staff perspective, our players perspective, it changed from what’s happening outside of Barclays,” said Marks on his and Joe Tsai’s reasoning.
