Asked around about whether or not the Nets can keep this up when Kyrie Irving returns to the rotation. Nic Claxton said Irving will “break the game wide-open.” Jacque Vaughn said the team will cross that bridge when Irving clears his suspension. More: trib.al/mF49AeY4:44 PM

No Kawhi, no Kyrie, but still a star-studded matchup featuring Paul George and Kevin Durant — who seems to have some extra bounce ever since Brooklyn’s new head coach Jacque Vaughn took over. pic.twitter.com/RPlUcpm1RJ2:31 PM

More on this storyline

Kendrick Perkins clearly agrees with LeBron, and the ESPN analyst appreciates his decision to speak out on this matter. However, Big Perk is adamant that this statement from James just won’t cut it (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter): “I appreciate LeBron James speaking out on his platform and using his voice,” Perkins said. “But that’s just a step. When you think about Lebron James, he’s one of the most powerful, iconic, individuals in the world. Not just in the sports world — in the world. “So, if he really want to go forward with this, and he really want to take action, that’s just the first step. Now, make those phone calls. Use your sources. Use your power to actually get it done. So that Kyrie Irving don’t have to go through that whole entire list that they put out there that he has to do before he’s able to return to the game.” -via Clutch Points / November 12, 2022
