Since Irving returned from an eight-game ban after he shared a movie on social media that features anti-Semitic tropes, the Nets are 10-3 and Irving has appeared more comfortable with each game.
For a rare instance since Irving joined the team in 2019, the focus has been on the court — and Irving’s body has frequently been on the court, too.“Jacque’s made it very clear that if you’re not playing hard enough, you’re going to hear about it,” Irving said after scoring 24 points on 17 shots in Monday’s win. “We’ve got guys on the bench that are willing to go out and do those things. It makes you take advantage of the time you’re out there.
He averaged 8.4 3-point attempts through October and November and shot just 32.5 percent from deep. Since December has begun, he has curtailed the triples, averaging 7.2 3s in five games, while relying more on his dribble penetration. “SKILLZ!” Nets owner Joe Tsai wrote in a tweet that contained a highlight of an Irving up-and-under — a message from the same account that aired disappointment with Irving in late October.Irving has been difficult to rely upon for the duration of his time in Brooklyn, but he has begun to demonstrate again how potent the Nets can be if he stays on the court with a team that jells.
