After last night's loss against the Charlotte Hornets and the second defeat in the first three games of the season, the focus in Brooklyn shifted once again to Kyrie Irving, who's still not playing due to his decision to not take the vaccine. 

Kevin Durant explained that while he would love to have Irving on the floor with him, the team is not gonna lose confidence just because he's not available.

"We definitely want Kyrie Irving out here on the floor. He's a huge part of what we do. But is not happening right now, so we gotta figure it out", Durant said.

"But no one is going to lose confidence while we playing and hope Kyrie comes to save us during the game. No, we got to play. Everybody here is confident in what they do. We just got to play", Durant continued. 

The Nets star is sure that his team has all it takes to win, even without Irving on the court.

"Yeah, of course, we have enough. It's just three games in. I am not about to say there's not going to [be] enough out here. I am not going to say that", Durant admitted.
