Kevin Durant blasts Nets for handling of Kyrie Irving mess: 'All unnecessary'
, Kevin Durant didn’t rebuke his fellow Nets star’s actions over the past week as much as rue the attention paid to it and the distractions it has caused.
“But once the balls start bouncing and we get into practice none of that stuff seeps into the gym. So that’s the cool part about being in the league. But once you step off the court, everyone got the microphones out and the microscopes looking at you asking you what you feel about it. That’s been difficult. But the game is the constant for us.”
When asked if the suspension — which could go more than five games — was fair and just, Durant said he believes and trusts in the organization “to do what’s right.”
