The Nets are running out of patience with Owen. Boss Cai of Nets has accommodated Owen to rent the stadium from his own pocket and let Owen train with the team. Durant, the owner of the team, earnestly persuaded Owen, and even praised the business of online celebrities recently, but everything everyone did was not as good as Wiggins' "I am afraid, I hope those who are stronger than me will stick to it".
Nets are the team hit hardest by the epidemic, and seven players in the team triggered health and safety agreement isolation. In addition, the injury report released by the Nets on 12 18 shows that many players, such as Kevin Durant, Joe Harris and claxton, have been plagued by injuries.
However, the Nets' official announcement of Owen's comeback does not mean that he can participate in the game immediately. ESPN reported that Owen needed to take a COVID-19 test for five consecutive days, and all the results were negative before he could go to back in the game. In addition, because he has not played for a long time, Owen also needs time to train and adjust his physical condition.
