It took 75 games into the season for Kyrie Irving to finally play at Barclays Center, and it may be too late for the Nets to turn into the championship contender that was widely expected.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 27: Kyrie Irving #11 of the Brooklyn Nets pumps his fist against the Charlotte Hornets at Barclays Center on March 27, 2022 in New York City. "So I’m standing for freedom, so that’s in all facets of my life and there’s nobody that’s enslaving me," Irving said. "There’s nobody telling me what I’m going to do with my life and that’s just the way I am."Irving's teammates and many of his fans seem to accept his stance.
"Not the result we wanted, but definitely grateful that we were part of history tonight and we got to do it here," Irving said. It's doubtful they would be in that spot with a full-time Irving, a perennial All-Star who scored a career-high 60 points earlier this month.Mayor Eric Adams says athletes and performers are now exempt from the workplace vaccination requirement.
