Kyrie Irving scores 22 points in his season debut to help the Nets beat the Pacers.
But injuries and COVID-19 decimated the Nets roster, and they needed players. They made the decision to allow Irving to play part-time.
He showed some of that against the Pacers, helping the Nets overcome a 19-point deficit late in the third quarter and end a three-game losing streak. He had 14 of his points in the second half — 10 in the fourth quarter as the Nets pulled away for the victory, and the Nets were 18 points better than the Pacers with Irving in the game.
