Durant and Kyrie could be great, only if Kyrie gets the vax and plays all games, if not then Durant won't be able to carry his team if he keeps being alone and no superstars around him helping him out.
As far as I know, the vaccine mandate in New York was lifted last week. However, there is some kind of formal and absurd situation, given that they allow Irving to be in the Barclays arena as a spectator. At the same time, they still don't allow him to play on the court. To be honest, it's ridiculous, and I hope all formalities will be handled before the start of the playoffs because the Nets need Irving.
