We’ve been keeping tabs on the Brooklyn Nets’ decision to let Kyrie Irving play in games he’s eligible to play in this year. At one point back in mid-October, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said that superstars Kevin Durant and James Harden would have a voice in the major decision.
Per Woj at the time.
“And you look at their stakeholders there. Obviously, owner Joe Tsai and Sean Marks the general manager. But Kevin Durant and James Harden who have a tremendous voice in this. They all together, they’re going to be part of that decision….”
For his part, Kevin Durant claimed he wasn’t mad at anyone for their choice. “What is being mad going to do?” Durant said. “We are not going to change his mind, know what I’m saying?”
We even wondered if the two friends (Irving and Durant bonded back in the 2016 Olympics) had reached a stalemate over the issue for a day or two.
