Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Pistons, Irving shared his honest opinions

The Brooklyn Nets are going through an injury crisis. With Kevin Durant out with an MCL sprain since Jan. 08, it’s Ben Simmons who is questionable due to his injury. 

Simmons left the game on Thursday night, due to left knee soreness. The forward left the game in the early third quarter due to some knee soreness. He played for around 20 minutes, he could only score 1 rebound, 7 assists, 1 steal, and zero points. The Brooklyn Nets suffered a 130-122 loss to the Pistons. This is their seventh loss in nine games.

They are 29-19 on the season after their loss to the Detroit Pistons. This loss has been frustrating for the team and its players.

Kyrie Irving was honest about his opinions on Simmons’ loss. 

Irving on Nets’ Loss

The Brooklyn Nets point guard spoke about the team’s loss to Detroit and shared his thoughts on maintaining his own consistency.

Irving said, “I can’t control everyone’s emotions day to day, as much as I see myself as one of the leaders of our team. But what I can show is just consistency to continue to work on my off days, and after the games, and before the games, and just continue to prepare at a very high level. Whoever is available for us to play will be available, and just move on to the next game.”

For Simmons, Irving said that he wants to see Simmons healthy. He also added that each player has their responsibilities and should not worry about who is in or out of the game. For now, he just wishes for the injured players’ good health.
