There is renewed optimism within the Brooklyn Nets that Irving will join the team at some point this season.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, there has been an increased level of enthusiasm between the two superstars after recent contact between Irving and Kevin Durant.

Irving has not played this season because he refused to be vaccine free. New York City requires anyone entering an indoor building to have a vaccine. The city will require two shots of Pfizer or Moderna and one shot of Johnson & Johnson.

The Nets did not allow Irving to be a part-time player before the season began.
