Currently in full swing with six successes in a row, including nine in ten games, the Nets are in a veritable virtuous circle, so much so that the infirmary has itself completely emptied. This is quite simply a first since the recruitment of the duo Kevin Durant – Kyrie Irving in the summer of 2019.
This had never happened in the space of three years.
A completely empty injury report, with no injuries, no absences for “personal reasons”, no COVID protocol, nothing. EMPTY. For this Wednesday’s game once morest the Golden State Warriors at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the coach Jacque Vaughn will effectively have all of his players on handand therefore multiple possibilities to allow the Nets to continue in their excellent dynamics.
According to Jacque Vaughn’s comments at practice today, the Nets are set to have a completely empty injury report for tomorrow’s game once morest Golden State.
The first such instance since Irving and Durant signed with the team in 2019.

Maybe he is there the greatest symbol of the newfound stability in Brooklyn.
It’s no secret that a lot has happened at the Nets since Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant decided to settle down three and a half years ago. We are not going to give you the complete history because we would need the evening, but between injuries, big controversies, unexpected absences, suspension, COVID, transfer, change of coach… it was a big mess until there is still a few weeks.
But since Jacque Vaughn took over following the dismissal of Steve Nash in early November, the Nets have simply found a soul. Kevin Durant is in MVP mode, Kyrie Irving is ultra clean since his return from suspension, Ben Simmons is no longer injured, TJ Warren has finally left the infirmary following his many galleys, Nic Claxton calls himself defender of the yearand above all everyone pulls in the same direction to allow the Nets to chain the victories.
The Nets have 6 straight wins.
The Nets have 10 wins in 11 games.
The Nets face Golden State tonight and will have, for the 1st time since the arrival of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (2019), ZERO players absent due to injury.
Great shape in Brooklyn, great shape ????

Just for information, Brooklyn has not lost since December 4 and a game once morest the Celtics, then leaders of the NBA in the balance sheet. The Nets have in fact only one defeat on the clock since November 27, they who do not stop climbing in the hierarchy of the East until finding themselves only 1.5 games from the third place occupied by Cleveland (19 wins – 12 losses for Brooklyn, 21-11 for the Cavaliers). Defensively, Brooklyn has become respectable (15th defensive rating) sous Jacque Vaughn and offensively the Nets have the weapons to compete with almost anyone. What to display once more beautiful ambitions.
An almost unexpected scenario when you remember the very big turbulence of the summer and the start of the season.
