Kyrie Irving, talking for the first time since the vaccine mandate was lifted, is excited over the prospect of finally suiting up for the Nets in Barclays Center.
cleared the way for him to play at home, is excited over the prospect of finally suiting up in Barclays Center. And now that he can, he hopes to sign a long-term extension so he can do it for years to come.
“Seven” of course is Kevin Durant, who has been left to carry an outsized burden with Irving having been ineligible to play at home. That is, until mayor Eric Adams announced Emergency Executive Order 62 on Thursday that gave unvaccinated athletes an exemption from the city’s private sector COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Now, Irving is eyeing a home season debut Sunday versus the Hornets.
The unvaccinated Irving hasn’t been able to play at home all season, first due to New York City’s indoor vaccine mandates that barred him from even entering Barclays Center and later the private sector mandates that kept him from playing. His decision was divisive, with many calling him selfish while his supporters viewed him as standing up for his — and others — rights.
