Kyrie Irving’s comments on his vaccine status leave little hope for change of heart ... for now

It’s been roughly a year since the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have been available. As of Wednesday, more than 245.3 million Americans had received at least one shot, 205.2 million were fully vaccinated and 72.1 million were both fully vaccinated and had received a booster shot.

Kyrie Irving is not one of them and based on his response to a question from ESPN’s Nick Friedell Wednesday night, it doesn’t appear that he plans to get the jab. That of course would permit him to play in every one of the team’s remaining 46 games, not just the 22 on the road.
