I am truly excited for the season to start and I am also praying that everyone remains safe and healthy throughout this journey,\u201d Irving wrote in the statement. \u201cInstead of speaking to the media today, I am issuing this statement to ensure that my message is conveyed properly:\u00a0I am committed to show up to work everyday, ready to have fun, compete, perform, and win championships alongside my teammates and colleagues in the Nets organization. My goal this season is to let my work on and off the court speak for itself. Life hit differently this year and it requires us, it requires me, to move differently.
