The Brooklyn Nets won't play Kyrie Irving until he is vaccinated. The Nets announced that Irving would not play or practice with them until he could be a full participant, ending the idea that he would play in only road games.
He just won’t play for the Brooklyn Nets until he is.
But he had rarely been with the team in New York, where a mandate requires professional athletes playing for a team in the city have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to play or practice in public venues. Marks said he and owner Joe Tsai together made the decision, adding that it came through discussions with Irving and his associates.
Irving then joined the team at an outdoor practice Saturday and worked out with the team Sunday, but didn’t play in Brooklyn’s exhibition game at Philadelphia on Monday. Marks wouldn’t predict how long Irving would be away from the team or get into whether the team would consider trying to trade him.
