In addition to Irving, the Nets also announced that Tyler Johnson was also absent from today’s game with the 76ers because of the league’s health and safety agreement (anti-epidemic regulations).
A few days ago, Kevin Durant also triggered the epidemic tracking mechanism because he was in contact with a Wuhan pneumonia case, and he was required to undergo 7-day quarantine.
Nash said that KD has been undergoing nucleic acid tests. If his test results continue to remain negative, then he should be able to return to the Thunder next Monday in Taipei time.
Two days ago, Nash said that KD felt very sad about being quarantined, “This is too bad for him. After such a long recovery, he has been working hard to come back to play. Now he can’t play, he is very frustrated. .But we must stick to our plan, continue to play, and then wait until he comes back.”
