Kevin Durant came to the Brooklyn Nets to collaborate with Kyrie Irving and win the NBA Championship together, and one can only appreciate his disappointment at the fact that he will have to make do this season without the excellent guard, who will not be part of the team until he gets vaccinated. Asked about the issue tonight, Durant said "I wish all this would not have happened", expressed confidence that the Nets would get along without Kyrie, and admitted he had not spoken to Irving since the club announced he would not be part of the team until he was vaccinated.
"Obviously I would like Kyrie to be here," Durant said after Brooklyn's 101: 107 victory over Minnesota in a preseason game, "I wish all this would not have happened. But that's where we are. Kyrie has made a decision on what he wants to do, and The team has made a decision.What I need to do is just concentrate on myself and our mission.I want the whole team together, and I want us to be in full force, but sometimes it does not work out.But I am still positive and believe that things will work out for both parties. "

Irving said this week that he still hopes to play this season in the Brooklyn uniform, after choosing not to get vaccinated, and therefore will not be able to attend activities in New York City in light of local laws.
Durant insists he is neither angry nor nervous.
"We still do every day the thing we love most," says Durant, "it's not the ideal situation, but sometimes not everything is under our control. What will help me get upset? We will not change his mind ... I can not be angry at someone who makes a decision for himself "Who can I be angry with? We just have to concentrate on who is here. When Kyrie is ready, I'm sure he'll talk to the owner and the general manager and they'll find a solution.
Durant scored 19 points tonight in a win over the Wolves, James Harden added 6 points and 14 assists, Joe Harris scored 23, and Marcus Aldridge finished with 16.

The Lakers have a 6: 0 balance before the season
The Los Angeles Lakers just can't win.
Although the season has not started yet, tonight the Lakers suffered a sixth loss in the pre-season games, when they lost 116: 112 to Sacramento.
This time, too, the Lakes started with the three stars, who played quite a bit, but that didn't help either.
LeBron James played 29 minutes and looked sharp with 30 points, Russell Westbrook scored 18 points and handed out 5 assists in 29 minutes, Anthony Davis struggled (5 of 18 from the field) but finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds in 33 minutes, And yet the Lakers faltered on the way to another loss and finished the preseason games without a win.
