Amid all the Kyrie Irving drama, Kevin Durant said the Nets wanted to focus on basketball, be the best version of themselves they could be.
Friday, the Nets were the best version of themselves for the first time this season.
In their first game without the suspended Irving, the Nets dominated the Wizards for a 128-86 victory at Capital One Arena.
“It’s an unfortunate situation for people that are impacted by this situation. I mean it just sucks all around for everybody. Hopefully we can move past it,” Durant said of Irving’s promotion of a movie with anti-Semitic tropes for which he refused to apologize, leading to a subsequent suspension by the Nets on Thursday.
“Once the balls start bouncing and we get into practice none of that stuff seeps into the gym. So that’s the cool part about being in the league. Once you step off the court everyone got the microphones out and the microscopes looking at you asking you what you feel about it.
