Nets rolling early — up 9-0 and playing with confidence. This season has been so up and down — but it felt like that Philly game gave them a huge emotional lift. It remains to be seen if they can maintain the momentum, but the group feels like their best is still ahead. – 1:18 PM

I just watched a Knicks fan wearing an RJ Barrett jersey Moss like 7 fans with one hand for a t-shirt thrown into the stands. Then he gave it to a little kid and went about his business like nothing happened. – 1:17 PM

The Nets have jumped out to an early 9-0 lead over the Knicks here at Barclays Center. The Nets came to play and have brought energy. If the Knicks don’t up theirs, this one will be over quickly. – 1:15 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Goran Dragic corner 3-pointer gives the #Nets a quick 9-0 lead over the #Knicks. – 1:15 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Maybe the Knicks should let their right-handed players shoot. – 1:14 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
“MVP” chants in the building, so maybe Kyrie brought Jokic with him. – 1:14 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
MVP chants for KD early after that one-handed and one. – 1:12 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Hypothetical: If Kyrie Irving were to walk across the court from is courtside seats and join in the huddle, what happens? Can he do that and just walk back to his seats? Does security have to stop him when the Nets wouldn’t have a problem with it? – 1:11 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Patty Mills in the Nets’ starting lineup to replace Seth Curry, who has some ankle trouble. – 1:10 PM

Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Knicks tip shortly. Currently trying to find Kyrie as if he’s Waldo. This will mark his first Nets game of the season…as a fan. On the court, BK is going for its third straight win. With Magic & Blazers this week, the runway is there for some wins. – 12:59 PM
Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
The Kyrie Irving situation is certainly the center of attention.
Here’s one ? I don’t understand
Why is Irving allowed to attend work (and practice) at the Nets practice facility that is located in Brooklyn but not play home games that are also located in Brooklyn? – 12:58 PM
Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Nets neeeeeed to show Kyrie on the Jumbotron today – 12:58 PM
Barbara Barker @meanbarb
Kyrie is going to be somewhere in Barclay’s today, even though he can’t play. Taking bets on where he will sit. Courtside? Behind the basket? Luxury suite? Press box? OK, it won’t be the press box. – 12:56 PM

Knicks say Obi Toppin (strained left hamstring) is available for today’s game at Brooklyn. – 12:31 PM
John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann
I’m neither a virus expert nor familiar w/ the mayor’s/city’s thinking, but I imagine the logic behind the Kyrie can’t play/can watch thing starts w/ this: You’re more likely to get compliance by threatening a person’s job than threatening their ability to go out. – 12:28 PM
Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
Don’t let a senseless NYC rule distract you from the fact that Kyrie Irving willingly chose and continues to choose this path.
It’s a dumb rule.
But Kyrie isn’t a victim or martyr here either. – 12:21 PM

#Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau on if rivalry game vs. #Nets means any more: “Not really…every game counts the same. You don’t get extra points for a win against a so-called rival or this team is an elite team, this team isn’t, all that stuff. The game counts the same.” #NBA12:05 PM

📅 On this day in 1949, the @Los Angeles Lakers George Mikan scored 51 points in a 100-90 win over the Knicks.
It was the third 50-point game in NBA history, and Mikan became the first player to record multiple 50-point games. pic.twitter.com/OPp2w7Lfgs12:01 PM

Derrick Rose hasn’t yet been cleared to practice by the NYK medical team, Tom Thibodeau says. Once he’s cleared to practice, Rose would need to re-start the conditioning process before he gets back on the court. – 11:41 AM

Steve Nash said the plan for Ben Simmons this week is to continue to rehab and strengthen his back. Asked what the next step for him, Nash says “rehab and strengthen his back. Continue to get more mobility and more dynamic movement every day.” – 11:40 AM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nash says he believes Kyrie will be here today at Barclays to watch the game. – 11:21 AM
Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving is expected to sit courtside to support teammates at Nets-Knicks on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center.
Irving is able to attend the game as a spectator, move freely, maskless … but cannot play due to private sector mandate. – 11:21 AM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Steve Nash believes Kyrie Irving is coming to Barclays (for what would be his first appearance as a spectator) isn’t sure if he’s here yet. Doesn’t want to wade into the situation with an opinion. – 11:21 AM
