Original title: The league will not fine Irving and the Nets.
Beijing time on January 9, 2021, the “Daily News” reported that a league source revealed that the NBA will not miss Kyrie Irving due to personal reasons from yesterday’s live broadcast game with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Brooklyn Nets fined.
Before the start of this season, the NBA released a new rotation policy, mainly for the team’s violation of healthy players during a game that is highly focused and live broadcast throughout the United States. Once violations occur, at least a fine of $100,000 will be imposed. In the last game against the 76ers, Kyrie Irving was temporarily absent for personal reasons. Today, he did not participate in the away game with the Grizzlies for the same reason.
According to sources, the NBA will not fine Irving and the Nets for his absence from a national live game. Although the league has strict rules on players taking turns in important games, Irving’s absence yesterday is not a strategic point for the Nets. problem. If the Nets want to impose disciplinary punishment on Irving, they can only punish the superstar within the team.
A similar situation also happened with the Houston Rockets. From the end of November to early December local time, James Harden did not go to the team’s training camp to report. At that time, he had already submitted a trade application to the team and expressed the hope that he would be traded to the Nets. team. It is worth mentioning that the NBA did not intervene in this matter at the time, and the Rockets did not penalize Harden.
Irving has missed the past two consecutive games due to personal reasons, and it is unclear whether he will attend the team’s game with the Thunder. Coach Steve Nash said in an interview that he had sent a text message to Irving, but he declined to disclose the specific content of the conversation.
In fact, the team had previously fined players for leaving the team without authorization. In January 2017, during the Knicks game against the Pelicans, Derrick Rose suddenly disappeared before the game and missed the game, and no one could even contact him for the Knicks. According to reports, Rose returned to Chicago because of family affairs. Subsequently, the team issued a fine of approximately $200,000 to Rose.
