Poor Joe Tsai… Poor Sean Marks… Poor Steve Nash… And finally poor Kevin Durant ! The Nets winger is on board in a great mess, and his initial desires obviously did not help matters. But today, he’s not the one causing chaos in the franchise, it’s his friend. Kyrie Irving. Suspended five games by his franchise, the All-Star playmaker finally apologized last night, and for his part, Durant would have liked it all to be settled calmly.
“I am not here to judge anyone, to denigrate their life or their way of expressing their opinions”, Durant said during the shootaround. “I just didn’t like what happened. I have the feeling that all this was not necessary. I feel like we could have just kept playing basketball and been quiet as a franchise. I didn’t like anything in there. »
For Durant, the media therefore played a role in this affair, and at the same time in the suspension of his teammate.
“The NBA works like that now… So many media outlets, so many outlets… Their stories are coming out really fast now,” sorry Durant. “That’s where all the chaos comes from. Everyone has an opinion on the situation, and we hear it over and over. »
