According to a report coming tonight from Shams Charnier, the athletic’s senior basketball reporter, Kyrie Irving has begun his process of returning to the league. Recall, the controversial quarterback has not played since the start of the season due to his opposition to getting vaccinated against the Corona virus, which prevented him from being a partner in Brooklyn’s games.
“I do not intend to give up the game for the sake of vaccination rules, but the reality is that in order to be in New York with the team I have to be vaccinated. I choose not to do so, and that is my choice.” Said Irving last October sparked great anger across the NBA.
Meanwhile, the Nets manage to do without him mainly thanks to the phenomenal ability of Kevin Durant, who currently looks like the leading contender for the MVP title, and holds an 8:21 balance at the top of the East.
According to the report, Kyrie will only take part in the Hunts’ away games, when of course he can not participate in the home games according to the laws of the state of New York, at least until he agrees to receive the vaccine he will return to team training in the coming days. Common only in the team’s away games.
In fact, the restriction on Kyrie that stems from each state’s laws will prevent him from playing wherever vaccinations are required, and so for example in addition to New York, he will not participate in games to be held in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto and soon in Philadelphia. How exactly is this supposed to work? The answers are probably in Brooklyn.
Sources: Kyrie Irving will play in road games and practice at home with the Brooklyn Nets. He is expected to practice with the team in the coming days. https://t.co/QilgYMM4Lo
