The NBA season was suspended in March, but teams are beginning to open practice facilities next week as a step towards a possible return. Irving probably won’t be playing though even if the season resumes.
The 28-year-old point guard is recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent in early March. One doctor, speaking in generalities about shoulder impingement but not specific to Irving, said he felt the recovery could take six months.
The Nets should be good when next season begins since they are expecting to have Irving and Kevin Durant finally on the floor together.
