While the Brooklyn Nets players that are actually healthy try to punch their ticket for the postseason — and try to avoid facing the Milwaukee Bucks — there are still many looking ahead to the 2020-21 season, awaiting the return of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Irving still has yet to undergo surgery on his right shoulder but he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, and Durant is still rehabbing his surgically repaired right Achilles, but everything the two superstars do still draws a significant amount of attention. That being the case, the two of them being mentioned in the recent update on NBA jersey sales in Japan shouldn’t come as a major surprise.
Marc Stein of the New York Times released the update, and Irving’s jersey is the fourth-best selling in Japan. Durant’s came in at No. 10.
Complete top 10:
1. Rui Hachimura
2. LeBron James
3. Stephen Curry
4. Kyrie Irving
5. James Harden
6. Russell Westbrook
7. Anthony Davis
8. Luka Doncic
9. Kawhi Leonard
10. Kevin Durant— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) February 26, 2020
