James Harden on Kyrie Irving: ‘I want him to be on the team, of course’

The Nets go into Friday night’s game vs. the defending NBA champion Bucks with a clean bill of health ... other than Kyrie Irving who has been ruled ineligible to play because he’s in violation of New York City’s COVID-19 regulations. He’s not been vaccinated so he can’t play. Of course, he couldn’t practice either this week for the same reason.

And so, it would appear the Nets current controversy will carry on for at least another day. There’s nothing to say that Irving won’t suddenly change his mind and get the one shot he needs to play, practice or participate in team activities.
